So last Saturday while I was spending time doing laundry I watched Dirty Dancing. First of all let me say that I can remember a time when this was on tv and my mom wouldn't let me watch it. When I remembered that I had a chuckle.
Anywho, I really don't see what's so great about this movie and after everytime I watch it I think ... eh! I never had that childhood/teenage crush on Patrick Swayze. I thought he was OLD because he was compared to who I was "in love with". So maybe that is the primary reason that I don't get all weepy and emotionally involved in the story.
Also, what's the big deal, a stuck up rich girl gets a taste of real life? WOW!
Maybe it was just before my time, I mean I really don't see what the big deal is about most 80s movies and Paul is always shocked when I haven't see these "classics". So I guess you love what you grow up with and apparently I was too young back in the day to watch it (you know all that "dirty dancing", abortion talk and rebel without a care scenes were apparently too much for a 8 year old).
