Dirty Dancing  (1987)

Dirty Dancing

My girlfriend, who saw precious few movies growing up, somehow managed to fall in love with this one.  I had never seen it before, and neither had the spouses of many of her friends.  So the women arranged a little party to subject us all to this film.

Pretty much what I expected.  A kind of woman's fantasy.  I understand why it has such a following.  The filmmakers knew what they were doing to lure the girls in.  It has all of the elements, and the story editing and structure all fit into place.  For the people it appeals to I mean, not for me.  It had some amusing moments mostly laughable.  I guess even most people who love it have to admit it's pretty much all cheesy.

When it came out in the 80's it was supposed to be a period film about the 60's, but viewing it now it seems much more 80's than 60's.

Rating: 4/10
