Chicago Tribune

A pelvis-gyrating, ponytail-releasing, shirt-unbuttoning good time.

Charlotte Observer

The plot of "Nights" will occupy only 10 or 12 brain cells.

By Lawrence Toppman FULL REVIEW

The movie's mix of erotic Latin dance and vaguely liberal politics should have young girls swooning in the aisles.

By J.R. Jones FULL REVIEW

Contains all the elements of a satisfying teen genre picture, but they've been compromised out of existence.

By Scott Tobias FULL REVIEW

In the end, they are only moments, and even at a merciful 86 minutes, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights feels formidably long.

By Rene Rodriguez FULL REVIEW

Washington Post

The movie is still a routine Hollywood high school morality play.

Havana Nights es mucho frío -- the only titter of excitement comes in a cameo from a strangely reptilian Patrick Swayze.
