ive known wat abortion was since i was 6 and sex since i was 8 but other parents may not tel their kids so soon. For teens and not young children but great intimate acting. I LUV U SWAYZE!
This movie has some glitches, but its a great classic! I have watched it like 5 times in the past week! The dancing is incredible and different which also makes it so interesting to watch, but remember, the dancing is dirty! I think anyone over 12 can see this! This is a very incredible movie with a little bit of humor, mixed with drama and spiced with a little bit of the 60's! One of the best movies ever! AMAZING ENDING, TOO! I miss you, Patrick Swayze!!!!!!!
Moronic plot, disgusting lack of moral qualms, paying for the murder of an unborn being glorified, vulgar dancing, statutory rape of main character.. barffff
This movie is SO amazing I can't even express it! I think the reason why it did so well was because it was modern, it meets up with our dancing now. Watch a music video and you'll see the dancing is barely any different. This movies 'sexual situations' are ridiculous. Sure, they dance suggestively, sure the characters have sex but it's a movie. We've seen worse on TV now and days. They don't show anything, younger kids don't understand the references and it's not like we're going to run into the street and yell out 'let's all dance like they did in dirty dancing!' C'mon, give kids some credit. We can handle sexy dancing and sexual gestures.
I LOVE WATCHING IT W/ MY GRANDMA,AND MOM SINCE ITZ KINDA A CHICK FLICK I HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE SO MANY TIMES!!!
EVEN THOUGH BABY MAKES SOME BAD CHOICES SHE LEARNS FROM THEM,AND THATS THE IMPORTANT MORAL OF THIS MOVIE.REMEMBER: THERE IS SOME MATURE DIALOUGE IN THIS FILM MEANING SO,U MIGHT WANT TO SEE THIS ONE W/ YOUR KIDS IF THE AREN'T 13 OR OVER
I love this movie! The music is wonderful and fun, and the dancing is fantastic! It is a very very fun movie! Watch it! The sexual behavior is a bit iffy, but get over it!
The amount of sexual instances and references is what bothers me the most. I watched it first around 14 and didn't understand the abortion part, but I think my kids would today.
I think it would be a god movie to watch with a young teen daughter.
The whole movie revolves around the killing of an innocent baby. One of the characters gets pregnant and at no time during the movie does anyone even consider having the baby. The only reason Baby and Johnny begin dancing together is because of this "need" for the abortion. Later in the movie a romance develops between Baby, a child and Johnny, an adult. This is commonly referred to in real life as statutory rape. But if you can ignore these two areas you will probably really enjoy the movie.
Baby and Patrick Swayze dance the night away in Dirty Dancing with some AWESOME dance moves! It's fun, campy, and a must-see for teens. Parents should note that all though there are no sex scenes, there are steamy, steamy dance moves and LOTS of french kissing. There is also a scary botched abortion. Bad guys, however, get their dues. 13+
Theres one racy scene with Baby and Johnny when she sneaks out of the house to go to his... Lots of racy dancing.. language violence penny has an Abortion go wrong.. Other than that its a great movie!
