Review of Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (2004) by Erik G — 23 Jan 2012
It's not as bad as I expected it to be, but... "Dirty Dancing 2"? Are we serious about that? How can you do a sequel of a movie that's considered a classic by so many people? The whole idea just doesn't work. Plus, this one is actually set prior to the original "Dirty Dancing", and music is completely wrong. How can you put a Shakira song in a Havana club if the story is set in 1958? And how did they dare mix it all with the Cuban revolution? That was just horrible in my opinion...
The plot wasn't strong or convincing at all. The two main actors were just horrible, they couldn't even dance and they had no chemistry. If anything good happened throughout the movie, it did in the wrong moment -- so lame. I felt pity for whoever was involved in this embarassing production.
If I was you, I would just skip it and re-watch the 1987 "Dirty Dancing". But maybe that's just me.
