OHHHH BOY! Last night while sitting on the couch my wife comes to me and says, I want to watch a movie. Of course I am fair game for this notion and since it was her birthday I let her pick. Worst mistake of my life, she picks dirty dancing Havana nights. This film is asstastic and I don't mean that in a good way. OK lets start with the characters, flat, dull, tasteless, stereotypical, pathetic, and just plain bad. That's just not for one person in this movie thats for them all. This movie is mixed bag of garbage, its like my mom dumped the litter box(characters), used tampons (story), then my brother vomits in the same bag(music). I just cant get over the acting, the lead male in this movie is so laughable. At one point I thought he was trying his best SNL tryout for a Cuban impersonation. Now the thing that really grinds my gears are the parents. I just cant get over how stupid they are. The mom plays this uptight rich woman who falls right into ever category that every other rich movie mom falls into. She wants her daughter to screw this other rich kid so her dad can keeps his job. What a selfish bitch. When she discovers that her kid isn't sleeping with the man she wants her too, she slaps the taste out of her mouth. What kind of crazy person is this. Then towards the end of the movie she basically tells her daughter to go sleep with this guy before (spoiler) something happens and they have to leave Cuba. Now the dad this guy beats me up the most. The actor doesn't even try to play the dad figure he basically plays a flat person who's name is dad.The most laughable moment in the whole movie is when he see's his daughter dance with the lead guy and he touches her breasts. He has this look on his face like he just got done watching porn. I am not kidding. The other story that is going on is that president Batista (not the wwe wrestler), is a mean guy who has Cuba in a death grip. Now the lead man and his family are trying to help get Fidel Castro into power. Yeah that worked out well didn't it. THey use this to build a tasteless love story basically of a guy who helps lead in the overthrowing of a government and stealing of a girls vcard. I cant go anymore into this movie if this doesn't turn you away I don't know what will.
