It's a movie best seen through the hazy amber filter of '80s nostalgia, and if you're watching it without those rose-colored glasses on, God help you.March 25, 2013
While it's easy to be cynical about the whole affair, the film's sheer audacity is admirable, and Dirty Dancing knows what it aspires to.September 20, 2014
These are not characters, but objects of choreography used to push a thoughtless agenda of sound and movement.January 20, 2017
Packs in drama, comedy, and an iconic finale that's still quite riveting.December 18, 2014
What seems an enjoyable piece of fluff about a summer camp romance is, in its own quiet way, a powerful morality tale.March 25, 2013
Although the plot is sometimes implausible, the movie's music, dancing and romantic spirit carry a lot of it. In addition, Dirty Dancing has the virtues of a female main character (a bit unusual in a coming-of-age movie) and an interesting setting.October 09, 2016
It's a sweet, lyrical movie with plenty of musical nostalgia. But more importantly, Dirty Dancing has an uplifting message of hope that can be found only in the dreams of the young.August 20, 2015
I loved this movie. It seems to dream itself, as it tells the story of a young girl who comes alive in the summer of 1963.March 25, 2013
Smart and funny, touching and unabashedly sensual.March 25, 2013
This is a shapely film, considered and concise. And if its rhetorical slickness eventually covers up its emotional core, that slickness has a pleasure of its own.March 25, 2013
If the ending of Eleanor Bergstein's script is too neat and inspirational, the rough energy of the film's song and dance does carry one along, past the whispered doubts of better judgment.May 06, 2013
The dancing here brings out the sensual dreaminess of the songs. Dirty Dancing -- what a great title! -- is such a bubbleheaded, retro vision of growing up in the sixties (or any other time) that you go out of the theatre giggling happily.
