DIRTY DANCING
Dirty Dancing is an appealing dance musical with a strong love story. The film takes place in a resort hotel in the early 1960's. Jennifer Grey plays Baby Houseman the innocent teenage daughter of a wealthy doctor & Patrick Swayze stars as the dynamic Johnny Castle the working-class hotel dance instructor who she falls madly in love with.
The film features some energetic dance sequences & has a spectacular soundtrack as a backdrop. Swayze is a dancer in real life & this film gave him the opportunity to put those hot dance moves to good use. This was his star-making performance & for many years after he was a household name. Dancer turned actress Cynthia Rhodes is also very good in her small role, especially in the opening mambo dance sequence with heart-throb Swayze. They are electrifying together.
The film's climactic dance sequence featuring Swayze & Grey is anything short of spectacular & makes you want to jump out of your seat & start dancing yourself or simply sit there with a big goofy smile on your face wishing that you could dance like that. It has that feel-good quality that makes you want to watch it again & again.
"Dirty Dancing" was the surprise box office smash of 1987 & deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Song In A Motion Picture, "I've had the time of my life" perfomed by Warnes & Medly. The film was so popular around the world that it resulted in the production of a TV series starring a different cast.
"Dirty Dancing" remains a favourite film for many people & is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. It is the perfect example of what a dance musical should be.
