38In the end, they are only moments, and even at a merciful 86 minutes, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights feels formidably long.
-
38About three-quarters of the way through, Havana Nights suddenly becomes laugh-out-loud awful, with dreadful, lame lines delivered painfully badly - as if a different screenwriter and director had taken over for the movie's final act.
-
38If you can't find a more scintillating brand of dirty to enjoy during your own nights (Helena or Hoboken), you're not trying very hard.
-
Despite being set in 1958 Cuba, Havana Nights sticks to the formula. This would be perfectly acceptable if the dancing was "dirtier" and if there was a spark between the young couple.
-
30This cinematic train wreck reminds me of when Hollywood decided to cash in on the success of Chinatown by making a sequel...
-
Silly, misguided, formulaic and largely a piece of trash, but it's not quite a disaster. There's the dancing and the music and the sunlight.
-
30It's one of the rare films for which a blooper reel would be redundant.
-
The movie is still a routine Hollywood high school morality play.
-
25This belated "reimagining" is as beguiling as a dried-out palm tree.
-
25Has some good music and hot dancing -- filmed choppily -- but it completely lacks the magic of its predecessor.
-
Havana Nights es mucho frío -- the only titter of excitement comes in a cameo from a strangely reptilian Patrick Swayze.
