Over all, I was a little surprised. "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights" wasn't that bad. I did like the first Dirty Dancing, so I figured that I would give this a shot. So, my friends and I saw this last night and I was very impressed with the dance moves. But there are more than a few flaws.
1.) Romola Garai, although she is a great dancer, she was not convincing as an actress. It felt like she kept trying to get her lines right.
2.) There were too many things taken from the first Dirty Dancing. I thought they could have been a little more original.
3.) It was a little clique with the parents. One minute they are against Katie seeing Javier, then the next they love him. I don't want to spoil though.
4.) And putting Jonathan Jackson as a little bit of a jerk was kind of dumb. I liked how in the first Dirty Dancing, the original guy that liked Baby was just a dork. But Jonathan being a jerk? Couldn't see him in that way.
Just a couple things they could've fixed up. But I wouldn't mind seeing the film again if I was in the mood.

PS, you're going to freak out when you see Patrick and how he looks.*shudder*
