Smart and funny, touching and unabashedly sensual... the sweet sleeper of a hot season. [21 Aug 1987]Full Review

It's a wonderfully corny story, performed exuberantly by Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. When these two get together, you practically have to get out the fire extinguishers.Full Review

The dancing itself, especially the dirty dancing, choreographed by Kenny Ortega, looks very contemporary, or, at least, as contemporary as "Saturday Night Fever," but it has a drive and a pulse that give the filim real excitement. [21 Aug 1987, p.C3]Full Review

The New York Times

The script is full of off-the-wall lines that take you by surprise but are perfect. [21 Aug 1987]Full Review

Good production values, some nice dance sequences and a likable performance by Grey make the film more than watchable, especially for those acquainted with the Jewish tribal mating rituals that go on in the Catskill Mountain resorts.Full Review
