DVD Reviews of Dirty Dancing (20th Anniversary Edition)

DVD Review: **** never received this dvd from amazon
Summary: 1 Stars

On 4/13/09 I ordered 2 dvds (Flashdance and Dirty Dancing). I received Flashdance almost immediately, but to this day, I have never received Dirty Dancing. I just received my bank statement this week and Amazon withdrew funds for both movies (Flashdance - $6.43 / Dirty Dancing - $22.94) on 4/14/09. Please help me straighten this out.

DVD Review: An American Classic!
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie 11 times in the theater at the age of 12 and it changed my life...I remember it was one of the first movies released on to vhs tape and it took over a year or so to be put out..But it was one of my favorites and I would pay that price again in a heartbeat to watch Patrick swayze Dance over and over again..It was an ispirational movie with love,danceing and a certain period of time now frozen on this classic dvd..I fell in love with Parick swayze then and today he remains my handsome talented leading man who could Dance like a dream...

DVD Review: I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!

I always thought this was a lame movie, but I really love it now that I've seen it. Yes, it IS a chick-flick, so if you don't like those types of movies, don't buy it.

Description of Dirty Dancing (20th Anniversary Edition)

The summer of 1963 innocent 17-year-old Baby (Grey) vacations with her parents at a Catskill's resort. One evening she is drawn to the staff quarters by stirring music. There she meets Johnny, the hotel dance instructor, who is as experienced as Baby is naive. Baby soon becomes Johnny's pupil in dance and love.

As with Grease (1978) and Footloose (1984) before it, Dirty Dancing was a cultural phenomenon that now plays more like camp. That very campiness, though, is part of its biggest charm. And if the dancing in the movie doesn't seem particularly "dirty" by today's standards--or 1987's--it does take place in an era (the early '60s) when it would have. Frances "Baby" Houseman (Jennifer Grey, daughter of ageless hoofer Joel Grey) has been vacationing in the Catskills with her family for many years. Uneventfully. One summer, she falls under the sway (as it were) of dance instructor Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). Baby is a pampered pup, but Johnny is a man of the world. Baby's father, Jake (Law and Order's Jerry Orbach), can't see the basic decency in greaser Johnny that she can. It should come as no surprise to find that Baby, who can be as immature as her name, learns more about love and life--and dancing--from free-spirited Johnny than traditionalist Jake.

Dirty Dancing spawned two successful soundtracks, a short-lived TV series, and a stage musical. It may be predictable, but Grey and Swayze have chemistry, charisma, and all the right moves. It's a sometimes silly movie with occasionally mind-boggling dialogue--"No one puts Baby in a corner!"--that nonetheless carries an underlying message about tolerance and is filled with the kind of exuberant spirit that's hard for even the most cynical to resist. Not that they'd ever admit it. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
