Editorial Review:
SET AGAINST THE DECADENT GLAMOUR & DANGER OF REVOLUTION-ERA CUBA IS THE STORY OF KATEY, A YOUNG, AMERICAN WOMAN & HER DISCOVERY OF LOVE, SENSUALITY & INDEPENDENCE WITH A SEXY, SULTRY CUBAN DANCER, JAVIER. KATEY PERSUADES HIM TO PARTNER WITH HER IN A PRESTIGIOUS NATIONAL DANCE COMPETITION IN HAVANNA.
Description of Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights:
The sinuous world of 1950s Cuban dance halls provides the setting for Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, a "reimagining" that shares with the original movie a deep love of sexy young people pressed tightly together on the dance floor. Fresh from New England, bookish and lovely Katey (Romola Garai, adorable in the charming but little-seen I Capture the Castle) meets a fiery young busboy named Javier (Diego Luna, Y Tu Mama Tambien) at a snooty hotel. Before you can say Tito Puente, the two have found a common language in the sensual swaying of their limbs, despite the resistance of Katey's mother (Sela Ward). It's all ridiculous, of course--the dialogue is atrocious, the characters tortilla-thin, and the politics embarrassing--but that's hardly the point. Luna is dreamy, there's lots of sweaty dancing, and Patrick Swayze makes an appearance--what more can you ask from a movie called Dirty Dancing? --Bret Fetzer
Dirty Dancing - Havana Nights Reviews:
very good 
2009-09-15 - was in very good shape when I got it. Done a real nice job on the transaction
Uneven, disappointing; a script in search of a story 
2009-09-14 - I liked the first Dirty Dancing movie, so when my husband raved about this one, I bought it instead of renting it first. It was a disappointment across the board, with just a couple of bright spots. The interaction between the girl and her father was touching. The acting by the two young stars was in character, but the script was not up to par and the rest of the actors were handicapped by the lines and situations they were required to deliver. It was shocking to see Patrick Swayze looking so old in this film. It didn't do him or the film justice. He would have been better off in a serious role rather than the bit player he was here.
The scriptwriter tried to do too many things in this film and as a consequence, accomplished none of them. The acting, the dancing, and the overall production were disappointing, to say the least. None of it was credible. I cannot understand anyone getting excited by this film, but that's just me and my tastes. The first "Dirty Dancing" film drew me in and caused me to care about the characters and what happened to them. I kept waiting for this to happen with this film, but it just never got there.
One of my favorites!
2009-07-16 - This movie is one of my favorites. I absolutely love it, and have seen it a bunch of times and every time after I watch it I wanna go out to a salsa club with my husband. Awesome movie! I would recommend to anyone who loves a little romance in a dance movie!
Fast shipping
2009-04-11 - The product was shipped right away and got to me extremely quickly. It was in great condition, a few items I have received from other people that say they are new are not in such good shape. Thanks for the honesty.
Dirty Dancing, Havanna Nights
2009-02-09 - I received this movie in good condition and it was shipped to me very promptly. I thought the movie was excellent and just what the review said it would be. I will order from this sellar again and I would recommend him to everyone.
