Amazon.co.uk Review
The sinuous world of 1950s Cuban dance halls provides the setting for Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, a "re-imagining" 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

unexpectedly fabulous!!,

This review is from: Dirty Dancing 2 - Havana Nights [DVD] (DVD)
Wow!!!My parents bought me this in June for my birthday, i put it in the DVD rack expecting to watch it someday, laugh at it then never watch it again! So, i thought i would see what amazon customers thought of it, and i was suprised to see most reviews had 5 or 4 stars. i put the DVD in and was in absolute shock that the film was sooooo brill!!! It could never replace the original as i love that but i loved this just as much. the dancing was fabulous and sexy, the music was brilliant. i have new found respect for Shakira's - Hips Dont Lie, as the original is in this film and goes so well with it. Also i was pleasantly suprised to see Patrick Swayze in the film, a great addition. And the singer Mya too, i loved that bit in the film. I always have to like the leading man to get into a film properly, and i didnt think i would with this one, but throught the film, Javier grew on me, and he was very handsome. One problem was that i thought the film would be longer, it's only 1hr18mins and i wanted at least another 30 mins! but apart from that, it was a delicious, must see film. Go buy it now!

Dirty Dancing 2,

I wasn't expecting much from this film having heard so many bad reviews but I actually really enjoyed it! Ignore the sceptics who say it isn't as good as the original: it's different and as much as I love the first film, let's not get snobbish about it, it's just good cheesy fun, which this is film is as well. Good for a girlie night in - just like the first one, and the two leads work really well together, possibly, shock horror, even better than Patrick and Jennifer!! Watch it and give it a chance!

Fantastic, Sexy, Cuban, Dance!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Dancing 2 - Havana Nights [DVD] (DVD)
A fantastic, sexy film with pure energy and excitement that cannot be rivaled. The dancing is brilliant with a wonderful cuban latin american influence. The first dirty dancing film was a classic that no other could match up to, but this film deserves its merits as a modern wonder and fantastic film. Surely a film to inspire anybody to start dancing!
