Dirty Dancing (1987)

Having now seen this I can understand why Dirty Dancing is so popular with its target audience. Set in the Poconos in 1963 this summertime romance is a good girl tames bad boy fantasy, complete with a Patrick Swayze falling unrealistically hard for a Jennifer Grey. But hay that is the intended appeal, though honestly the movie is very well done even while being say a little shy of realistic. Nice supporting part for Jerry Orbach. Strong soundtrack boasts a nice mix of period music and 80's fair including the Oscar winning song (I've Had) The Time of My Life. ***
