I loved this movie. It seems to dream itself, as it tells the story of a young girl who comes alive in the summer of 1963. August 20, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

What seems an enjoyable piece of fluff about a summer camp romance is, in its own quiet way, a powerful morality tale. December 18, 2014 | Full Review…

The dancing here brings out the sensual dreaminess of the songs. Dirty Dancing -- what a great title! -- is such a bubbleheaded, retro vision of growing up in the sixties (or any other time) that you go out of the theatre giggling happily. May 6, 2013 | Full Review…

If the ending of Eleanor Bergstein's script is too neat and inspirational, the rough energy of the film's song and dance does carry one along, past the whispered doubts of better judgment. March 25, 2013 | Full Review…

Although the plot is sometimes implausible, the movie's music, dancing and romantic spirit carry a lot of it. In addition, Dirty Dancing has the virtues of a female main character (a bit unusual in a coming-of-age movie) and an interesting setting. March 25, 2013 | Full Review…

Dirty Dancing is dull and charmless. The initial curiosity turns into disappointment and the only memorable aspect is the effort of the protagonist Jennifer Grey. [Full Review in Spanish] April 1, 2020 | Full Review…

Dirty Dancing, directed by Emile Ardolino, is a conventional film in its Borscht Belt setting, ethnic satire, and feel-good ending, but with a deliciously subversive core. February 28, 2020 | Full Review…

I'm just glad it was an hour-and-a-half. I can see why it was a hit, but this is just all kinds of boring. October 12, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Between the great soundtrack, the physical appeal of the very approachable Grey and smoking hot Swayze, the undeniable chemistry between the leads and the toe-tapping dance numbers, Dirty Dancing is inherently watchable. July 4, 2019 | Full Review…
