So it's not Casablanca...so what?

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2001)

Yes, this movie isn't Casablanca. It's not Romeo and Juliet, or any of those so-called "classics". But so what? It's a fantastic movie, and a great love story. It's got a good cast, good music, a wonderful ending...this is one of my favorite movies. It's not a guy movie by any means, it's definitely a chick flick. But all in all, even though maybe some of the dialogue is a little cheesy, and the basic plot - good girl falls for (semi) bad boy, daddy doesn't approve - has been used a million times, and will be used a million more, it still stands that Dirty Dancing is a sweet movie that never fails to make me smile.
