KyleLicht I love this movie. It's cute, fun, romantic, good-hearted, funny, and overall a great film. Jennifer Grey is incredibly adorable in the weirdest way possible and her character as an endlessly motivated do-gooder is New York perfect character. Unlike Grease or other films, she doesn't change into the bag girl and get the guy by giving up her true identity. Rather, she fights for what's right, accepts tough changes, comes clean with her father, and tastes a bit of the wild side from secretly dancing, romancing, and... well taking her father's money for abortion without his knowing (and not her abortion). If anything she changes for the better as she breaks out of her shell, lives more, and stays true to herself and her character. Also, the dancing and music in this film are incredible. I love the time period, the atmosphere, the soundtrack, and everything about this film. I'd love to revisit it just to relive it and be part of its world again.
emthackeray Watched this movie a million times and I still love it. A real classic movie with real actors with real class and chemistry unlike most modern day movies. And an all time classic. Gotta love the end dance though.
jssedlacek1 I watched this movie after hearing about how good it was from a few friends, and I figured since it was such a famous movie I should see it. So I did. Now maybe it was because it was so hyped up for me, or maybe it was because I have no nostalgic connection to it, but I thought it was really overrated. The choreography was good, and it had some funny moments. But for a lot of it I couldn't get past the fact that she was supposed to be 17 and he was supposed to be 24, which is pretty gross to me. Also, I didn't see them together, they didn't seem like they were great for each other. I just think that the movie was really overrated, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that great. It was a pretty generic and predictable story. The only thing it had going for it was the dancing, and that was pretty good. It made a fun date movie, but outside of an occasion like that I don't think I'd ever really watch it again.
kz917-1 This movie has stood the test of time. Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze make movie magic with the sultry dance moves. The choreography and the music make this a ride you will not want to get off of. Now considered a cult classic, it has spawned a television series, Broadway production and most recently a remake (that was horrific). Fantastic piece of celluloid history that ought to be revisited every now and again.
