I enjoyed this movie. After many years of my mom watching it, I finally saw this film from beginning to end and it wasn’t bad.
Baby (Jennifer Grey), her parents (Jerry Ohrbach, Kelly Bishop) and her sister Lisa (Jane Bruckner) are headed on vacation to the Catskills mountains. Baby is a good girl who is expected to change the world.
There are lots of activities at Kellerman’s Mountain House such as dancing, golf and other standard activities.
The owner’s grandson (London Price) and Baby are set up. He tries hard to impress her, but she’s not interested in him at all. One night, Baby manages to get into the staff quarters where they *gasp* dance dirty. Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) is the resort’s dance instructor and after Baby dances with him she begins to fall for him.
Johnny sees no value in himself. He comes from a rough background and doesn’t believe he has anything worth offering. Baby slowly gets him to see otherwise.
Johnny is hesitant with Baby at first, but after his dance partner Penny (Cynthia Rhodes) is unable to join them at a performance she urges him to teach Baby the routine so that the show can go on.
I am not a fan of most of the 80s movies I’ve seen, so I’m glad that I enjoyed this one. The timeline is a little off, but honestly, most people probably won’t notice. The cast is good. Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze reportedly hated each other off screen, but you’d never be able to tell watching them on screen. Also, this film supposedly takes place in the 60s, but you’d honestly never be able to tell. When you’re having a good time watching it though, that doesn’t even matter.
