Movie Review: Dirty Dancing, Havana Nights


I thought this might just be a cheesy sequel but it's quite good. An American girl goes to Cuba with her family and feels quite out of place. Her auto executive father sets them up in a homestead surrounded by other Americans, but the girl finds herself intrigued by the locals.

She meets a Cuban young man who teaches her to dance to his Latin rhythms. Of course they fall in love. We catch a glimpse of Johnny Castle, but they don't identify him as the character from the original Dirty Dancing.

It's just a taste of politics and freedom fighting during the revolution. Honestly, it really doesn't interfere with the dancing theme. It actually might have been nice to get a more detailed view, but ah well.

Look in Bandon, Lakeside and North Bend for this charming story.
