adonis98-743-186503 On the eve of Cuba's revolution, a young American woman discovers a passion for dance and for her sultry Cuban partner, Javier. As the two prepare to take their place in a prestigious national dance competition, their bodies align in a sensual harmony that mirrors the growing bond between them. They dominate the dance floor with a sizzling style and rhythm all their own. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights is nowhere near as good as the original but it's a suprising and well made sequel with both Diego Luna and Romola Garai doing a great job as the leads and Patrick Swayze's cameo as a Dance Class Instructor is more than welcome and if you don't expect something close to the original it's going to suprise you. (7/10)

Jessica-katz5 I personally loved this movie, I loved the Cuban twist, I loved the music, the beats, and the dancing. Neither of the main characters had dance experience but wound up lighting up the screen. They had a great connection between them.I had to re-watch this movie after watching the ABC remake of the original Dirty Dancing. My soul needed to be cleansed.Just a few comments: This is NOT a remake of the original Dirty Dancing, nor is this a sequel. The original Dirty Dancing took place in 1963. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights takes place in 1958.For those upset that it didn't match up to the original? It wasn't supposed to. Unlike the original Dirty Dancing, this one is actually loosely based on the true life of producer JoAnn Fregalette Jensen who moved to Cuba with her family in 1958.If you didn't like this movie, then "Si. Yous a square."

SnoopyStyle It's 1958, high school senior Katey Miller (Romola Garai) follows her family (John Slattery, Sela Ward, Mika Boorem) to pre-revolutionary Cuba. They're staying in a fancy exclusive hotel. She bumps into local waiter Javier Suarez (Diego Luna) and eventually befriends him.There are great actors at work here. I love the location shoot in Puerto Rico. The story is strictly fantasy cheese. It doesn't have the fun and charm of the original namesake. It's better than expected but not anything great. The one thing that does stand out is that Romola Garai is quite a big tall gal. Diego Luna is barely taller than her, and he's definitely skinnier. It's a different feel to the franchise.

brianmartin101 Romola Garai did a bad job on the American accents. Few times I could hear the British accent slip through. The scene on the beach where she tell Javier that he was making a different to his family, could hear the English accent coming through plus the scene when she telling Patrick Swayze she trying to feel free and dancing like an Iron board was bad. A few times she let slip up when trying American accent. The plot of the film was weak. The dancing was crap. I didn't like the mixing of modern music with the 1950s style setting that spoiled the movie. The ending of the movie was bad. The only good thing was the Cuban music in the film. As for Luna dancing skills he wasn't very convincing dancer since he and Romola only had ten week's lessons before shooting the movie. The other dancers in the movie showed up Luna lack of dancing skills
