Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
Katie is a high school student and seems to be a smart girl. Katie moves with her wealthy parents to Cuba in 1958. Katie may meet her first love there in Cuba, called Javier, a poor citizen working as a waiter. After a while, Katie began studying Cuban dance in a nightclub with Javier, who decided to teach her. Suddenly, her father moved to the United States after Fidel Castro took power and at that moment Katie had to decide what she could do.

Although based on choreographer JoAnn Jansen's experience, the script was written by a committee of eight; each writer seems to have contributed every cliché in the memory bank.

Superficial but entertaining.

Pure schmaltz, but not without its share of feel-good entertainment value.

Bad movie, lame plot, poor acting. Don't bother.
March 01, 2004
Tries to add Cuban flavor to a familiar plot but comes up with nothing more than a bubbling stew of cliches.

It challenges its audience to ask questions, namely, 'Why?' Why was this movie even made?

A routine Hollywood high school morality play.

Aside from the triteness of the dialogue, the mathematical predictability of the script and the muddling of numbskulled politics, DD: HN is a fairly enjoyable experience.

Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights does have some sexy music and a few good dance sequences in a steamy nightclub, but the story is terribly contrived and the lead actors have zero chemistry.
October 07, 2004
Provides entertainment sophisticated enough to entrance a sophomore in high school.
July 30, 2012
A horribly routine star-crossed romance job with none of the spunk or humanity that made its oh-so-better forebear a generational classic.

Next to Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, the first picture is like something out of the golden age of Hollywood.
