Aside from its obviously problematic central relationship (yikes), there isn't really anything particularly 'wrong' with 'Dirty Dancing (1987)'. Having said that, it's never more than 'fine'. Though its plot is more impactful and consistent than the plots of similar work such as 'Flashdance (1983)' and 'Footloose (1984)', the picture doesn't really make the most out of its underlying themes and focal relationship. It's not bad, just somewhat unremarkable. It's never exciting or affecting, for example. It's engaging enough, though, and will probably appeal more to big fans of 80s dance movies than it does to me. 5/10
