Synopsis
Come have the time of your life this summer! Baby (Jennifer Grey) is one listless summer away from the Peace Corps. Hoping to enjoy her youth while it lasts, she's disappointed when her summer plans deposit her at a sleepy resort in the Catskills with her parents. Her luck turns around, however, when the resort's dance instructor, Johnny (Patrick Swayze), enlists Baby as his new partner, and the two fall in love. Baby's father forbids her from seeing Johnny, but she's determined to help him perform the last big dance of the summer.

umpopular opinion : i dont like it
Saritapia likedDirty DancingThe soundtrack was stunning!! The storyline was beautiful and the choreography was insane! My only complaint would be that they introduced the “outsider” plot line for Johnny. It would have had a bigger impact if we had known longer!! At times he would give strange signs too! ❤️

Where's the story?
Gamer2010 lovedDirty DancingLove this movie so much The music is amazing especially the main song (I’ve Had) The Time of My Life and the actors did great After I watched this movie I found the soundtrack at a Family Dollar store and got it the music is great Would Recommend the movie and the soundtrack
Sabrina Bondi likedDirty DancingAlthough the plot is sometimes implausible, the movie's music, dancing and romantic spirit carry a lot of it. In addition, Dirty Dancing has the virtues of a female main character (a bit unusual in a coming-of-age movie) and an interesting setting.

Metacritic
If the ending of Eleanor Bergstein's script is too neat and inspirational, the rough energy of the film's song and dance does carry one along, past the whispered doubts of better judgment. [14 Sept 1987]
Richard Schickel
Time
A shapely film, considered and concise. And if its rhetorical slickness eventually covers up its emotional core, that slickness has a pleasure all its own. [21 August 1987]
Dave Kehr
Chicago Tribune
Before the movie collapses into the utopian nonsense that seems obligatory to this subgenre, a surprising amount of sensitivity and satirical insight emerges from Eleanor Bergstein's script and Emile Ardolino's direction.
