Miscellaneous
Muze Description
It's summer, 1963. Baby, 17 years old and all idealistic innocence, is vacationing with her parents in the Catskills. She meets Johnny, the hotel dance instructor, and is mesmerized by him as well as his dance style. She soon becomes Johnny's prize pupil - in dance and in love. Academy Awards: Best Song ("(I've Had) The Time of My Life").

Synopsis
Headstrong 17-year-old Baby Houseman hardly expects her family's usual summer vacation in the Catskills to be momentous. But then Baby spies Johnny Castle, the resort's dance instructor from the wrong side of the tracks. Johnny's facing a crisis: his dance partner and friend, Penny, is pregnant and has reluctantly decided to get an abortion. This leaves Johnny a solo act -- until Baby agrees to take Penny's place. She has to learn how to dance first, however, and as Johnny teaches her the choreography's sexy, seductive moves, the two fall in love.

But Baby's father believes that Johnny is the creep who got Penny pregnant, and he furiously orders Baby to end the relationship. Baby knows that Johnny's innocent -- and with her feisty idealism and his dance talent, the two will prove to Baby's father that their love is worth fighting for.

    Not The Big Deal Others Sold It To Me As:"Dirty Dancing" More Mediocre Than Magnificent!
by wlswarts, 2/11/2009

Pros: Good music, Good dancing, Moments of performance
Cons: Predictable plot, Pacing issues, Character sacrificed for "effect" (dancing).
The Bottom Line: Less sensual or interesting on the character or plot fronts than others have indicated, "Dirty Dancing" disappointed me (twice!).
Review: "Dirty Dancing" came to me highly recommended from a most unlikely (in my mind) of sources. I remem …
