Cast: Patrick Swayze (as Johnny Castle), Jennifer Gray (as Baby)
IMDB: 6.9
Dirty Dancing starts off by presenting the whole scene of a summer vacation place for mostly families. Baby, (that's strangely what they call Frances) comes to the vacation centre with her family and coincidentally gets to see the "behind the scenes" part of the organisation and how the workers are treated there. They are obligated to entertain no matter what and money surely is an important factor on that. Other than entertaining for money, they dance in a place secretly. This kind of dance is called dirty dancing which is not the kind of dance they would want their guests to see. One day when one for the workers gets pregnant and can't dance or pay the money for the abortion, Baby helps her with both. She pays the money and she learns how to dance for her shows by the help of Johnny Castle. Even if they're from completely different social groups, they fall in love. It's about breaking the labels that the society put on us.
Personal Thoughts: I liked the whole thing but to be honest, I liked the dances more. They were absolutely awesome and it was hard not to get jealous of their skills. Even if you don't like the movie which I'm pretty sure you will, the dances are so good that it'll make up for it. Plus it's a classic and who doesn't love classics? (cough me cough) I don't actually enjoy a lot of classics for example the horrible Anna Karenina. I liked the cast and I thought I'd like it because it was a classic and all but I sometimes, well, most of the times, have a hard time liking the classics. Any way I liked this one so I think even for spending your free time it's a good choice to just go for it and watch it.
