The 20th Anniversary of one of the most
popular dancing movies gracefully dances its way onto DVD that has
been digitally remastered with a video and audio quality not seen
before. The difference between the original DVD movie and the
remastered edition is outstanding with exceptionally sharp picture
quality and vivid colours with a minimal amount of artifacting.
Dirty Dancing is your classic forbidden
love story that revolves around Johnny (Patrict Swayze) and Baby
(Jennifer Grey) with that classic saying of "Nobody puts Baby in a
corner!" Whilst not the most challenging of storylines, what
endeared most of us to Dirty Dancing was the sheer passion with
which both main characters played their parts in the movie. Jennifer
Grey plays the part of Francis "Baby" Houseman who has gone with her
parents to a resort where the in-house entertainment headed up by
Swayze do their best to entertain the guests night after night.
Baby becomes infatuated with Johnny (Swayze) who isn't exactly taken
by the rich girl, however he teaches her a few moves. When Johnny's
regular partner cannot be there for Johnny's after hours gigs where
he Dirty Dances, he reluctantly agrees to teach Baby a few moves and
over the course of the instructions finds himself drawn to her. The
rest of the movie is history which you should know.
Dirty Dancing is a great DVD packed with features, however the video
does hit some low points with degrees of softness present throughout
in parts of the movie, obscuring details in some circumstances. This
is more something that won't detract from the average person's
enjoyment of the movie but just a little niggly thing that I
noticed.
