 So Bad It Gave Swayze Cancer... September 24, 2008
DJ Dave Boring (Birmingham, UK)
3 out of 9 found this review helpful
Patrick Swayze is hilariously miscast as brooding bad boy dance instructor Johnny Castle and spends the entirety of this 1960's pastiche mincing about in trousers so tight it's no surprise that his range of expressions can only veer from mildly pained to pissing razors. Love interest Baby (Jennifer Grey) seems to possess features that would easily double up as a sundial and an acting ability only equalled by a traffic bollard. She dances with all the grace of a woman unfortunate enough to own the first prosthetic legs made entirely from plutonium, to a soundtrack so unashamedly 80's in style and content that you begin to see Grease as some kind of authentic historical documentary of 1950's teen culture by comparison.
The final scene where the entire holiday camp is engulfed in a hellish firestorm of white-hot ash as Mount Vesuvius erupts and Johnny is pecked to death by a thousand lizards the size of postage stamps is a fitting (if not a little contrived) tribute to the work of Russian master Eisenstein. Baby survives only to be tragically killed at the D-Day landings.
 the best chick flick ever!!!!! August 20, 2008
S. A. Finnigan (england)
This has to be the best and original chick flick of my generation (36 years old).I can't believe though it is 21 years since I saw it at the cinema.The main actors are well cast although it is said they did not get on in real life.Anyone who enjoys a good love story good music and the ultimate last dance to "I've had the time of my life" should add this to their collection!!

Just received this DVD from Amazon - couldn't wait to see it as I have just seen the show in London.
I loved it all - it brought back a lot of memories.
It is a chick flick but my hubby enjoyed it too.
Definitely worth buying.
Despite the fact that I am a bloke, I thought it was alright March 27, 2008

Dirty Dancing has the reputation among blokes up and down the country as the film that your girlfriend will one day compel you watch. So it was that a full 11 years after seeing (and hating) it on a coach on a school trip, I relented and ordered the film for my fiancee for Valentines Day to earn some serious brownie points. I sat down with a large drink and braced myself for what I remembered to be a purile chick flick. However, it was quite alright in the end.
First of all, I firmly believe that while everyone has favourite genres of films, the best examples from each genre should be of interest to all film buffs. For example, I generally don't like musicals, but I do like Singing in the Rain. Yes, Dirty Dancing is a hard core chick flick, but it's one of the best chick flicks ever (if not quite as good as When Harry Met Sally). Ultimately, the plot is enjoyable, the acting is quite good with a feel good factor. Would I watch it over and over? No. But I am a guy and I still liked it, if not quite loving it.
So, in summing up, women will probably love it (I have yet to meet one who didn't). But for blokes, when your girlfriend does force you to sit through it, don't be surprised if you like it as well. As chick flicks go, its good, and certainly beats being forced to sit through America's Next Top Model or Big Brother or many other girly films. And with the inevitable Brownie points you are bound to earn it makes it a very worthwhile purchase.
I've Had The Time Of My Life! March 7, 2008
B. Stone (Cardiff , South Wales)
Dirty Dancing is a brilliant film! Patrick Swayze is great and sexy as Johnny and Jennifer Grey is good as Baby, they work so well together! I first this for the first time when I was 12 and Patrick was my older man crush, I still love him today! This film is always going to be brilliant no matter how many times I see it! The best chick film EVER! And the ending always makes you cry! Worth the money! Buy it NOW!!!!!!!!!
