Oh, those lusty Cubans, spending their days and nights dancing wildly in the streets. They gyrate, they grind, they touch each other in the bikini area. They
dirty dance! And in this dopey, semi-delightful
reimagining of the white-bread version of the same film, that dirty dancing is everyone's salvation. In 1958, Romola Garai is dragged to Cuba, the island of sexy rhythms by her stuffy, country-club parents.
There she meets sexy Diego Luna, a hip-wiggling child of
la revolución. Together they fall in love and enter a dance contest that could be Luna's ticket out of the country. But the audience has bigger issues: the cheesy script, a frightening cameo by the shockingly skinny
Patrick Swayze and the aggressive use of modern Latin hip-hop for the soundtrack. It's bearable, just don't expect to have the time of your life.
