It's a movie best seen through the hazy amber filter of '80s nostalgia, and if you're watching it without those rose-colored glasses on, God help you.

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.

What seems an enjoyable piece of fluff about a summer camp romance is, in its own quiet way, a powerful morality tale.

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.

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.

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.

Nov 08, 2013Who doesn't love Dirty Dancing? An absolute classic.Beth M Super Reviewer

Sep 13, 2012I can't believe it took me twenty years or so to see this gem. It's just such a nicely-packaged little story. It doesn't try to be anything other than a sweet bildungsroman that tackles class issues while treating the audience to beautifully choreographed dance routines.Alice S Super Reviewer

Dec 02, 2011Dirty Dancing is a classic, with good performances and some great dance choreography. Definently a romance that can be enjoyed by both genders. A film for the ages.Bradley W Super Reviewer

Aug 25, 2011One of the oldest and most loved girly movies of all time that I have never been ashamed to say I love. The acting is terrible, the special effects have holes in them and the story line is sporadically poor but the soundtrack and simplicity of the instant love between Baby and Johnny is what every 14 year old girl (including myself at that age wanted). As I have got older, the age difference between them unnerves me slightly but then most things unnerve me in my old age. A definite keeper, even if it is complete hogwash.Unknown H Super Reviewer
Dirty Dancing Quotes
| Johnny Castle: | You wanna hear somethin' crazy? Last night I... I dreamed that we were walkin' along and we met your father. He said, "Come on," and he put his arm around me. Just like he did with Robbie. |
| Johnny Castle: | Look, spaghetti arms. This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don't go into yours, you don't go into mine. You gotta hold the frame. |
| Johnny Castle: | I'll never be sorry. |
| Frances "Baby" Houseman: | Neither will I. |
| Dr. Jake Houseman: | (talking to Baby) I won't tell your mother about this. Right now, I'm goin' to bed. And take that stuff off your face before your mother sees you. |
