The musical elements of the film were nothing more than an exercise in cross marketing the soundtrack album.  It's a teen romance flick not a music movie.

guilty pleasure. loved it when i was young..watch it everytime i catch it on tv.

What a waste of time and money.

It was such a good movie I request any age should see this movie. It is fun filled action and lovley dancing!!

This movie is a classic for a reason. Its a great movie with good acting and flow. I do, however, like the Dirty Dancing Havana Nights movie a lot better. I suggest, especially if you liked the first one, that you see the sequel as well.

i hate this movie it is the worst thing to every hit the screen i would rather have my toe nails ripped out one by one than see that movie. i swear to god if i had the power to abolish this movie from time constrants i would. to be honest midevil torture would be mor pleassurefull than this god dam movie

I liked the movie but if you think about it, in the future I highly doubt there will be much dancing for these two, they will have about 3-4 children, he will go around dancing for money, sleeping with more rich women to make an extra 100 a night, she will be at home without the father's monitary assistance because he didn't want her to marry the guy. Pretty soon they will forget all about the lovely dance in that Hotel, life will pass by so quickly that soon their kids grow up and they stop, look around and ask what happened? And then they can barely stand to talk to each other because they haven't truly seen each other their whole lives while they were just trying to survive. Maybe I am wrong, but this is just how I percieve the future for them to be.

this was the dumbest movie i have ever seen

the most wounderful and genius movie ever and diego luna is so sexy i love you diego sexy sexy sexy sexy a++++++

He's like eye candy!!!

LAWDY! WHAT CAN I SAY?

the movie was brilliant i've watched it 1000 times.

The dancing in this movie is wonderful. My favorite art is he end when Johnny and Baby are dancing. The music is also great. The movies theme is also very good.

The film is so sweet! I like it so much.. it gives me so much love and so I feel not so lonely. The sexy body Patrick Swayze *G*

ok..dirty dancin isnt a musical..but a great dance movie thats for sure. my grandma was the first one who introduced me to the movie when i was 3..to this day i kno evey word, and dance in that film. still a classic to me! now i can obsess over dirty dancin havana nites..all i hav to say is DIEGO LUNA!!

Great 80's sleeze! Patrick is a dancer (ballet and all) he had some great moves here. Reminds me of 7th grade dances...What a rush. Jennifer did a wonderful job as well. Really cute movie. Puts you back to being about 17 years young when you watch it. I love that part as well!

I personally think this movie is great. It is the classic good girl falls for bad boy and they parents hate it. Dancing is a big part of this movie but i believe that the basic movie has a much larger setting than that. It deals with coming to understand ones self and how someone could change so easily and is not always what people think.

This movie is the best. It always reminds me of my best friend b/c Time of my Life is our song from cheerleading. Whenever we get into a fight listening to that song or seeing the movie always brings us back together.

It's amazing this insignificant, low-budget piece of crap garnered the following it did, seeing that it's one of the worst films ever puked out by Hollywood. Starring unctuous P. Swayze, a clubfooted hoofer in need of acting lessions and pinchfaced little trollop Jennifer Grey, nice body, honker and all. The best thing about this turkey is the fact that it takes place in the Borscht Belt, oy vey, which harkens back to childhood memories in my long-distant past. Even the dancing, the supposed strong suit of this attempt at making a movie, was predictable and hardly impressive. What would have made this a better movie is if Grey did about fifteen nude scenes: this would have kept me from nodding off every five minutes or so. Cousin Brucie Morrow's favorite flick, and that tells you plenty.

I dislike dancing in general. I think if people want to go humiliate themselves, Go on ahead and do it! The music isn't my style either.

Watching Patrick Swayze in anything is a bit of an ordeal for me, but Jennifer Grey is cute and the story and music are both decent, so I can't totally dis the film because of him.

I think that this movie was definately overrated, but it was still good. Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze were both good in their lead roles, and the plot was solid. Not to mention some fantastic dancing scenes, espescially at the end.

Great movie with some good dancing. I liked the plotline about a 17 year old and her family at a vacation resort. "baby" meets Johnny a dance instructor. Alot of good music. Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze were both good as the leads. I was surprised to see how good of a dancer Parick Swayze was.An enjoyable movie.

The excellent soundtrack will get you through this otherwise extremly trashy musical. Jennifer Gray plays a young adult at a country club where she meets a famous dancer, played by Patrick Swazee. They eventully fall in love, and they become dancers together. But, her father doesn't approve of his type, and he doesn everything to ruin their relationship, although her mother thinks it's a wonderful idea.

I love this movie! I have watched this movie tons of times and will watch it tons more. It is my all-time favorite movie!

This movie is great. It's a total classic! It has a great story and a fantastic soundtrack. The acting is good and the relationships are interesting.

This is a classic with one of the best soundtracks of all time. Patrick Swayze is hot and the dancing is really entertaining. The plot is interesting as well. "I carried a watermelon," a line you will never forget.

Growing up in the late eighties/early ninties. I saw this movie all the time. The classic eighties, cheesy music makes it al worthwhile. Inspires every girl to strive for Patrick Swayze.

A great love story. A great soundtrack. A great cast. I love this movie! Chessy late 80's movie that became popular because of it's great plot and Patrick Swayze.

Dirty Dancing is an 80's classic. It is equally taboo as it is cheesy. Patrick Swayze is a joy to watch because he's such a suave 80's sleazy dancer. This movie is great for young teens to watch.

I love the dancing and choreography. The plot of the story is interesting and the actors/actresses are very good.

This movie has an excellent soundtrack. It is stocked with sexy actors and actresses. The movie has an actual plot and it is a movie you can watch over and over again.

Nothing about this movie was unique except for Jennifer Grey and Pat Swayze. I thoroughly enjoy it because of the lovable songs and my ability to identify with Baby's struggling, fantasies and triumphs.

Every teenage girl who's ever taken a dance class probably knows every word to this fine 80's classic. Patrick Swayze proves to be a triple threat (surprisingly) and Jennifer Gray is stunning in pre-nose job form. The dance is super-80's, the acting hyper romantic and the campy dialogue doesn't stop and yet you'll still find yourself with the chills when Swayze slyly demands, "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

The best coming of age story about a young girl who falls in love with a "rebel" who is against everything that had been part of her world before she met him. The dancing gives the story a great twist, to show how the love between Johnny and Baby develops. It adds a sensual quality to the movie and concludes with a major dance scene that brings everything together.

THis is one of the best movies ever produced. It is a perfect love story and the cinematography is excellent. It has a great combination of talented actors and actresses. Dirty Dancing also has an amazing soundtrack. What's really great about this movie is that it can reach all audiences.

This movie is the perfect combination of good music and good entertainment. The movie is never boring and it makes you feel good at the end. Every song in the film is excellent as well.

Bad acting, stupid story, horrendous music. I hated this movie in 1988 when my girlfriend dragged me to it, and I hate it even more now when Ted Turner insists on showing it 30 times a week on cable.

"Dirty Dancing" is among my favorite movies. The movie has a wonderful soundtrack and the plot keeps my attention. This is a movie that you can watch countless number of times.

Every girl I know who is my age, watched this movie religiously at sleepovers. It's the best childhood nastoliga I know of. It's cornball plot, ending with the dance where Baby struts her stuff was so cool then, and notorious now. It's fun and you can sing along with all the songs.

I find myself watching this film every single time that it is on TV and enjoying it each time. Maybe that makes me Swayze crazy, but if the shoe fits... Everyone agrees that Swayze and Grey are both really good, but Jerry Ohrbach is also great as Baby's father who is struggling with some of the decisions made by his younger daughter. Strong soundtrack, as well, even the song sung by Swayze himself.

This movie is timeless! The charachters steal you heart every time. I don't think there is a love story that has been made since Dirty Dancing that is tasteful enough to share with you sixth grader! I often wonder what happened to Baby and her first love!

"Nobody puts Baby in the corner!" That's one of those classic lines that shohuld be saved in a time capsule. Our descendents will take a look at Grey and Swayze practicing their dancing in the water, and they will understand what it was like to be young in 1987 and thoroughly SWAYZE CRAZY.

Nothing beats the 'Dirty Dancing' soundtrack. The only thing I don't like is they didn't include the Spanish song that was playing when "Baby" did her first dance.

Dirty Dancing is a true classic. The dancing and the romance was so beautiful. I never get tired of watching it.

The best movie ever! Patrick Swayze, what a hottie!

Dirty Dancing was a good movie. It is a very deep movie.

I thought that Dirty Dancing was the love story hit of the 80's.

Dirty Dancing is my favorite alltime music movie. Both the film and soudtrack are fantastic.

This movie was good because I loved Patrick Swaze and it reminds me of my childhood.
