Dirty Dancing is typical of many of the 80's megahits. Like earlier films of its ilk, including Fame, Flashdance, Top Gun, Cocktail, Footloose, Purple Rain (ad nauseum), it's a movie built around a soundtrack, with a worthless plot that exists mainly to string together musical montages and/or dance sequences. The fact the film takes place in 1963 is redundant...this is unequivocally an 80s film, with 80s stars, 80s music and an 80s sensibility. It's also one of the worst movies to ever win some kind of Academy Award (for Best Song). And since this is the fourth DVD version of Dirty Dancing in six years, one must cynically assume the motive for this Ultimate Edition is to drum-up interest in Artisan's upcoming sequel, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights (which looks to be as sound an executive decsion as greenlighing Grease 2). I guess the ultimate question regarding this Ultimate Edition is...is it worth it?
