Review of Dirty Dancing (1987) by Amir K — 05 Jan 2013
A teenager (Jennifer Grey) spends her last summer as an adolescent with her family at a resort hotel where she meets a dance instructor (Patrick Swayze). Despite her father's (Jerry Orbach) belief that this dance instructor is a low life, she is already in love with him and they have plans to take dance lessons together.
Dirty Dancing is best known for its finale with the Oscar-winning song "I've Had The Time of My Life" and it is unquestionably the best part of the film. However, I found the rest of the picture to be deadly dull.
The quality of the directing is poor since it is completely scatterbrained, the chemistry between the two leads was lackluster, and I was never convinced that the setting was 1963.
