Dirty Dancing (DVD) Reviews

Dirty dancing is a fantastic film, very watchable. Too watchable probably as I myself have watched too many times but never noticed until recently what someone pointed out to me. This is the funny part where Patrick Swayze jumps out of the bed after him and Baby have spent the night together ( think it may be for the first time) and pulls on his ...  Read the complete review

Oh baby! Do it for me one more time! Roll those hips and move that body….. Oops, sorry, I was getting a bit carried away there. Didn’t realise you were all watching. Dirty Dancing! Yes, that’s the subject matter at hand. Just need to gather myself here and I’ll tell you all about it. A razzle-dazzle love ...  Read the complete review

Dirty Dancing. What a film. This film was up there with the big boys when it was released back in 1987. I suppose you could call it the Billy Elliot of the late 80’s (though having not seen Billy Elliot, I can’t say I’m right on this one!) I know that I only got to watch it when I was about 11, so that would have been about 1990, ...  Read the complete review

Dirty Dancing was one of those movies which was, if you were growing up in the 80s, unforgettable. The plot is nothing to write home about, but it just has that nostalgic and magical quality which, in my opinion, is virtually unrivalled. The music and the dancing is pretty good too! Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray are the two ...  Read the complete review

I woke up this morning to my clock radio playing "ive had the time of my life"and i got to thinking about the film "Dirty Dancing"and what a classic it was. I hired the video out when it first came out and my wife and daughter loved it that much we bought it of the video shop,needless to say it was watched over and ...  Read the complete review

This is a very famous film and almost every single person who sees it rates it highly and sees it again on numerous occasions, and I am no exception to this rule. The story is set on a holiday camp where Baby (Jennifer Grey) spends the summer with her family, while there she meets one of the dancers (Patrick Swayze). Due to a problem with ...  Read the complete review

I am 16 years old; I was barely alive when this film was released in 1987. However, this film has got to be my favourite film of all time! ‘Dirty Dancing’ has everything you could possibly want from a film; it is fun, has a great soundtrack, outstanding dancing and there is something about it that makes you want to watch it again and ...  Read the complete review

The movie is about a girl named baby who goes on holiday with her parents and sister, she meets a guy called johnny who is a dancer but her parents ...  Read the complete review

I have seen this film countless times. I saw it first when it came out and fell in love with it instantly. Now I finally got a change to buy it and at the moment I'm a proud owner of it. I saw it again this week and it made me smile and dance around as usual. This film is about love, basically a nice little holiday romance, a summer when ...  Read the complete review

Its hard to believe that this feast of a film was first released over 13 years ago. Based at a holiday camp (similar to our Pontins!!) the film follows the story of 'Baby' a young woman growing up during the Summer and getting very friendly with the dancing instructor at the camp played by our friend Patrick Swayzee. ...  Read the complete review

Dirty Dancing is the classic romantic movie of the 80's. The story is based around family holiday based at a local resort (Abit like Butlins but in the 60's). Patrick Swayze plays the local dancing teacher who leads a young ambition girl astray and teaches her in the way of dancing. This movie has some excellent music and the ...  Read the complete review

This has to be one of my top ten movies. I first watched this film back in 1987 when released and still own it on video, well two copies in fact!!! Despite the fact I have watched it so many times that I have lost count. I still find this movie a real "pick me up" It makes me laugh, touches your heart and the dancing is ...  Read the complete review

I feel that the film is not just about the pictures, and the words, but the dirty dancing film is more about the image, and the sense of feeling that it portrays to its viewers. A good film such as this should, and in this case does, keep viewers coming back for more, hence the fact that it has been re-run on TV many times. I think that Dirty ...  Read the complete review

I have to say that in my humble opinion this is one of the great movies, in the same genre of let's say "Cabaret", in that there is a general undertone of a serious subject.However, the music and the characters bring it above what could be a maudling piece of film on a subject, ie an abortion of a young rather naive young girl.Also, the loss of ...  Read the complete review

Everyone knows the song,you've all sung it,admit it,but how many have seen the film,it's a dance movie right ? wrong,it a romantic comedy with dancing in it,and its believable as they used someone to play the lead actress who isn't perfect looking.The film has some cool dance moves (that is the story after all),some love scenes and ...  Read the complete review

Dirty Dancing is one of my favourite films. I have seen it so many times, I am surprised my video tape hasn’t worn out. I love the story and I think they have got just the right people acting the parts. Patrick Swayze is a Hunk and he dances well too. They both seem to work well together. The story is set in a holiday camp. Patrick is ...  Read the complete review

~~~~~~~ Background ~~~~~~~ "That was the summer of 1963, when everybody called me Baby, and it never occurred to me to mind". So begins 'Dirty Dancing', the story of Frances Houseman, known as Baby, and her summer vacation at Kellerman's resort. When she and her family visit Kellermans, she meets and falls in ...  Read the complete review

I watched this 13 year old film last night for the first time in years. The acting is absolutely pants, but the whole feel of the film make up for this. Jennifer Grey ("Baby") is not your normal beauty, but her quirkiness somehow adds to the realness of the film. Patrick Swayze simply has hips to die for, and the ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the best films that has ever been made in my oppinion. Patrick Swayze plays a dancer that works at a holiday complex called " Kellermans Mountin house " The film is mostly based on dancing, staring Jennifer gray and Cynthia Rhodes, Grays character is called Baby, she spots Johnny Castle (swayze) who is a "cool ...  Read the complete review
