This romantic drama dance film is one of the most popular films among female audiences. I think the reason that I can't enjoy it much is that it's so strongly aimed at female viewers.

The songs and the dancing are good. This film is better than most chick flicks.

It's set in the Catskill Mountains in New York in 1963, so it's bizarre that it includes 1980s songs.

There is a prequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights - and a remake. Both are inferior to the original.
