DVD Reviews of Dirty Dancing (Ultimate Edition)
DVD Review: Love this DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this DVD. If you love the movie Dirty Dancing you will love thisDVD Review: Even I love this movie...
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was made in 1987...I was born in 1986... and it is hands down one of my very favourite movies. It's even greater to update it for us, the "microwave generation" and I like that I have it on hand whenever I want to watch it. DVD Review: Very bad Blu Ray transfer
Summary: 1 Stars
I like the movie. But this recording is terrible.
It is NOT 1080p, and the sound is mostly mono.
DVD Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
What's not to love? I'm so glad to have one of my favorite movies in DVD. The anniversry edition is just a bonus.DVD Review: Not quite a camp classic, not quite a musical, but close enough
Summary: 3 Stars
When this movie came out it spawned a hype unlike anything I'd seen before or since. Full of notable quotables ("No one puts Baby in a corner"), having not one but two successful soundtracks (one even featuring the one and only published vocal talents of Patrick Swayze the star of the movie!), and a semi camp classic that the famous 80s movies would go down in history for. Looking back brings so many memories, and so much silliness.
Jennifer Grey plays Baby, a nice Jewish girl who is vacationing with her family in the Catskill mountains. I can't imagine, even in the times that this movie was set in, that any gal would tolerate being called Baby by her family, let alone be introduced and allow strangers to call her Baby as well, but I guess that was the point. There she falls for Johnny, the sexy swaggering bad boy of the entertainment staff who dances his way into her innocent, sheltered heart. Just a little idealistic, just a little far fetched, but just enough of a fantasy to keep things lite and airy.
There werea plethora of subplots (the sister in her own infatuation with the waiter, Johnny's partner needing the abortion, the inevitable confrontation between Baby's father and Johnny, etc.). The song and dance routines were spaced out in between enough dialogue and plot development to make it otherwise a musical, but not quite. It's just cheesy enough to make everyone like it.
Description of Dirty Dancing (Ultimate Edition)
An innocent young girl is introduced to the sensuality of dance when she meets the dance instructor at her resort hotel.Genre: Musicals
Rating: PG13
Release Date: 9-DEC-2003
Media Type: DVD
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
