The sinuous world of 1950s Cuban dance halls provides the setting for Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, a "reimagining" that shares with the original movie a deep love of sexy young people pressed tightly together on the dance floor. Fresh from New England, bookish and lovely Katey (Romola Garai, adorable in the charming but little-seen I Capture the Castle) meets a fiery young busboy named Javier (Diego Luna, Y Tu Mama Tambien) at a snooty hotel. Before you can say Tito Puente, the two have found a common language in the sensual swaying of their limbs, despite the resistance of Katey's mother (Sela Ward). It's all ridiculous, of course--the dialogue is atrocious, the characters tortilla-thin, and the politics embarrassing--but that's hardly the point. Luna is dreamy, there's lots of sweaty dancing, and Patrick Swayze makes an appearance--what more can you ask from a movie called Dirty Dancing? --Bret Fetzer

 Great movie! February 2, 2010
L. Baker (Maine, USA)
This is my new favorite movie. If you liked the first Dirty Dancing you'll love this one. It's new and fresh, and very entertaining. Patrick Swayze even made a few cameo apperances in this movie. I highly recommend buying this movie. You'll love adding it to your collection.
Love this movie! February 1, 2010

For people who grew up watching the original, a lot of them don't seem to like this one as much. However, I love the soundtrack in this one!
Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights January 5, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Havana: November, 1958. Eighteen-year-old Katey Miller brings an innate curiosity--and a smattering of Spanish--to her new life in Cuba's lush capital, where her father has taken an executive posting at Chrysler. Schooled by her parents in the art of ballroom dancing, Katey is expected to join the smart set of American teenagers who are the Miller's neighbors at the exclusive Oceana Hotel. This movie is only for those who loved the first, and who love the dancing. The dancing is awesome, way better than any I have ever seen. The chemistry between the two young stars is definetly there. Patrick Swayze was a wonderful suprise.

 Uneven, disappointing; a script in search of a story September 14, 2009
SLE (Montana)
I liked the first Dirty Dancing movie, so when my husband raved about this one, I bought it instead of renting it first. It was a disappointment across the board, with just a couple of bright spots. The interaction between the girl and her father was touching. The acting by the two young stars was in character, but the script was not up to par and the rest of the actors were handicapped by the lines and situations they were required to deliver. It was shocking to see Patrick Swayze looking so old in this film. It didn't do him or the film justice. He would have been better off in a serious role rather than the bit player he was here.
The scriptwriter tried to do too many things in this film and as a consequence, accomplished none of them. The acting, the dancing, and the overall production were disappointing, to say the least. None of it was credible. I cannot understand anyone getting excited by this film, but that's just me and my tastes. The first "Dirty Dancing" film drew me in and caused me to care about the characters and what happened to them. I kept waiting for this to happen with this film, but it just never got there.
