Moronic plot, disgusting lack of moral qualms, paying for the murder of an unborn being glorified, vulgar dancing, statutory rape of main character.. barffff

Don't forget what the movie is really all about.
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.

Great Summer Romance (Teens+)
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+

Good teen movie
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.

Heavy subject matter not for kids under 17
I absolutely LOVE this movie! I do not think it is appropriate for kids under 17. The themes and subject matter are mature and not appropriate for younger kids. It seems like themes and subject matter are not taken into consideration by MPAA ratings. An R rating is only granted if there is nudity, of extreme violence.

Great Movie - you can trust your teen!
I loved this movie as a teenager. I'm looking forward to watching it with my girls (when they are old enough). My oldest is 12, so we are almost there.
For the record, I watched this as a teen. It did not cause me to have an abortion or sex or view those options as possibilities in my life. Additionally, I never thought the movie was about "abortion" but more about people doing everything they can to help a friend. And while Baby's romance was exciting, I would never have had an older boyfriend because I knew it was wrong and my parents would have disapproved. Teens raised in thoughtful, trusting homes can be exposed to life's conundrums without necessarily racing to make movie characters' bad choices.
