One of the all-time best twin movies, Di and I watched this together. I now know why people love Patrick Swayze. Made in the 80's, the only other movie I had seen Jennifer Grey in was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. However, I love her now as Baby and she and Johnny Castle may have earned themselves a nomination for T-Entertainment Hall of fame '08. The plot, like many 80's movies is this; rich girl goes to camp, meets poor staff boy, they fall in love, they hook up, they lose each other, big romantic finale. However, throw in a bad abortion, dirty dancing, stuck-up weirdos, and a finale that is marked as "fabulous" and you have a perfect twin movie. Patrick Swayze was to die for and is a great dancer. The romance between the characters is great, as well as the dancing (I would dance like that if Patrick Swayze was my partner). A MUST SEE for all life forms, although mature for our younger viewers a.k.a some of my cousins. It's a good date movie, a great girls night in movie and, of course a perfect twin movie. When 2008 rears it's ugly head, Hilary and Obama won't be the only people on the ballet; so will Baby and Johnny. Dirty Dancing, we salute you!!!!
P.S: Loved this? Check out the Australian comedy Strictly Ballroom. It's really good and it's a more light-hearted funnier version of this, once you get passed the accents. Look for it! It's a definite twin flick!
