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


Synopsis

Katey Miller (Romola Garai) is an 18-year-old girl who is about to have the time of her life, even if she doesn't know it. When her father Bert Miller (John Slattery) is transferred to Havana in 1958, just before Katey's senior year in high school, the whole family relocates to the exotic locale, moving into a luxurious hotel filled with Americans as Cuba teeters on the brink of revolution. Bookish Katey is mesmerized by the raw intensity of the dancing she sees in a public square one afternoon--and by Javier (Diego Luna), a Cuban pool boy that works at her hotel. Soon, Katey and Javier are heating up the dance floor, combining his Latin moves with her formal ballroom training. With some inspiration from the hotel dance instructor, played by none other than the original dirty dancer Patrick Swayze, Katey enters a Latin ballroom dance competition. Based on co-producer and choreographer JoAnn Jansen's own experiences as an American teenager in Cuba, DIRTY DANCING HAVANA NIGHTS comes to the screen 17 years after the original DIRTY DANCING debuted. This coming-of-age film also features Sela Ward as Katey's mother, and was directed by Guy Ferland (TELLING LIES IN AMERICA).

5.0 out of 5 stars unexpectedly fabulous!!, 1 Sep 2006
By S. Firth (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent movie!!! Great music + words to songs! :D, 25 April 2006
This film is a great watch! I believe it is much better than the first.

The story is about an american girl and a cuban boy falling in love and learning to dance together. She dances traditional ballroom and he is more free with his street style dancing and also passionate club style.

Political issues are rife throughout the movie, class, race, culture, a sleazy guy with a powerful father and some jealousy thrown into the story.

The dancing is incredible and what amazed me most is that before starring in this movie the main two actors had no dance skills and learned to dance this amazing in weeks!!

There is a dance competition where they really show off their honed skills.

The music is great and at the last club scene I switched the subtitles on to get the words of the dance songs. That is a great bonus as I was going to buy the music CD but dont need to now.

There are extra features too: multi angle dance sequences, dance commentary, interviews etc.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars FAB, 27 Nov 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights [DVD] [2004] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This film is nothing like the first, I Love the first, and thought this would not live up to the title, however I was wrong. This film includes romance, politics and obviously dance, the dancing is brilliant. A cuban Boy teaches an american girl how to let go through salsa, and she teaches him to calm it and make dancing more controlled adding more traditional dance (Latin, ballroom). to some up, a must see don't believe the reviews, it's a complete chick flick but it's well done, this is actually a prequal to dirty dancing, and Patrick swayze although is not in the film much is still as hot as the first.
DO NOT MISS.
