"Good Romantic Drama!"

Rating: 6/10 (20 September 2014)

Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Jerry Orbach, Cynthia Rhodes, Kelly Bishop, Jane Brucker and Jack Weston star in this 1987 drama. This takes place in the late summer of 1963 focusing on teenage girl, Frances "Baby" Houseman (Grey) who comes to a New York country resort, "Kellerman's" with her family. Soon, she meets dance instructors, Johnny Castle (Swayze) and his partner, Penny Johnson (Rhodes). Baby decides to help Penny deal with an unwanted pregnancy by loaning her money and be her dance substitute. Baby and Johnny start to fall for each other after he teaches her how to dance. The late, Orbach (Law & Order) plays Baby's father, Jake who is a doctor, Bishop plays Baby's mother, Marjorie, Brucker plays Baby's older sister, Lisa and the late, Weston plays Max Kellerman, the owner of Kellerman's. Grey and the late, Swayze are great in this and had good chemistry. I recommend this good romantic drama.
