Fave movie of all time

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2000)

I first saw this film 4 years ago and after years of pleading someone finally bought it for me..it is my Favourite Movie Ever, for now at least. Romance and passion all trying to hide behind funky dance routines and possibly it works, I don't think it's the best work anyone could have done- the plot is a bit thin on the ground; ie boy meets girl somewhere vaguely original (is that a spoiler?) - but both the romantic leads, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, I think do a terrific job and the supporting cast mostly do their job brilliantly, making just enough impact without stealing the show. It has all the elements- fantastic leading couple (Johnny and Baby) villains (Robbie, Vivian and nastyish slimeball Neil) plus brilliant dancing from everyone who does to amazing music. Some of the supporting acting is a little ropey but hey, it's all part of the fun. Electrifying stuff, and there's even a sort of moral there somewhere. love it.
