The little film that could! And boy, did it ever!!

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2007)

Despite the obvious flaws, one can not deny there is a most definite magical quality in this film. Perhaps it is the nostalgic story line of innocent romance in an innocent time. Perhaps it is the feel good soundtrack and dancing. Whatever it is, it transcended many films of the genre and the decade. There is such a strong chemistry between and Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, it outshines some clichéd moments in the script. The music works so well in the film. Even the juxtapositioning of the modern day hits, with the time period songs works.
The stars aligned for this film, it came out at the right time and just exploded and even after 20 years, it is one of the few movies that is still enjoyable to watch every time. And Patrick Swayze was right! Nobody puts Baby in a corner!
