For a film seen by movie critics and a thumbs down, it has become a hollywood icon that has had its ten year and twenty year anniversary spent on the big screen (Only one other movie I know that has done that and its Grease)
So what made America fall in love with Dirty Dancing? I believe it was great music, great dancing and Patrick Swazye. Women took notice of Patrick Swazye when came walking across the room with his leather jacket thrown over his shoulder. It’s a total chick flick and most people can probably only tell you about the great dancing scene in the end, but to use who love this movie it is much more than a story of a young lady expected to do everything by the book, just like her daddy wants her too. Its about love, life, dancing, dancing dancing.
