I enjoyed it ...

Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2004)

I've seen a number of the "80s dance movies" (Flashdance, Dirty Dancing, Footloose, Fame), and I have to say I enjoyed Dirty Dancing most. It wasn't anything spectacular, but it was cute, funny and romantic. And the dancing and soundtrack were amazing.
Jennifer Grey did a great job as the shy-turned-rebel Baby, Patrick Swayze also made the movie enjoyable with his performance as Johnny, and I especially liked Cynthia Rhodes as Penny. She added a serious level to the movie, and did it well.
If you can overlook the obvious flaws (in my opinion, extreme cheesiness) that most 80s movies, especially the dance ones, have, you'll enjoy Dirty Dancing. I really did.
Now Havana Nights, that another story.
