Reviews

" New edition of the almost 18 -year-old hit film, Dirty Dancing ', which clings closely to the specifications and uses social and political backgrounds only as an exotic backdrop. Although the lead actress can convey their dance joy impressive, but the film whose conflicts seem too put on, they are not able to bear. "

" The new edition flopped wrong: The music is great, and the performer can do more than just dance. [ ... ] Feel-good movie with hot rhythms. "

" The political background is as superfluous as a goiter; between the hot dance and love scenes would anyway disturb even the most exciting action. Perfectly equipped, attractive, talented leading man, much heartache, cool Fifties styling and a still walked safer Patrick Swayze as a guest: Cuba Libre and nachos with the correct cinema foreplay for a long Salsa night. [ ... ] Not as cheesy as the iconic original, but the dance scenes are much hotter. "
