Ratings and reviews

Dirty Dancing is a bit on the short end with what seems like different stories where it winds up lacking a bit but it isn't bad of course and it sure is feel good. Alittle after 3 and a half to near 4 stars.

She ruined this film for me. It was on incessant repeat for much of my youth. Which is to say, if you are a girl you will probably LOVE this movie.

I have loved this movie since I first saw it in my teens. It's a great love story filled with adventure. The music is great, the dancing is addicting to watch, and their love story makes for one of the best chick flicks of all time. I will never tire of this film.
