Dirty Dancing (I) (1987)
This silly movie succeeds despite itself!!!
7 December 2003
Don't misunderstand me! "Dirty Dancing" still ranks as one of my favorite movies! A bright and cheery "feel good" experience that's always fun to watch and enjoy during a date night or a party! You simply have to take it at face value and not too seriously! The soundtrack,the photography,the summer resort setting and of course the fabulous dance numbers all have managed to work together to make one of the 80s biggest and most memorable hits! But,you have to laugh at what the filmakers tried to pull off: a conglomeration of characters who act and dress and behave in ways UNHEARD OF in 1960s America! BUT...maybe that's what does it! Is it the summertime vacation experience that everyone (young or old) has secret dreams about? Does this far-fetched soap-opera/love story strike such a deep nerve in our American viewers that we love it because it lives-out our fantasies??? Who knows?? Watch it anyway...have the time of your life!
