September 3, 2011Without any of the spark of the original this second Dirty Dancing film is a giant disappointment to every expectant woman looking forward to the same sex appeal of Swayze we were graced with in the original. Set in revolutionary Cuba, much of the film decided to saturate itself ... read more

May 13, 2007Wow! Nice dancing romantic set against the Cuban Revolution in the late 1950s between a poor Cuban waiter and rich and pretty British girl. Class lines are crossed, families overcome prejudice, and the dances, well, they must be danced!

March 28, 2010Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, while much better than I had expected, falls short of being anything truly memorable.

September 6, 2009It brings together a decent story, with hot music and a time/setting of Cuba is a brilliant setting, the colourful surroundings bring to life a surreal feeling that captures the summer buzz of the movie perfectly.

November 23, 2008The fact that this is basically "Dirty Dancing 2" should give you a good enough idea of how good the movie is. But Romola Garai and hot Latin dancing gets a thumbs up in my book :)

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

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

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. Full Review

Mark Jenkins, Washington Post
A routine Hollywood high school morality play.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
Doesn't begin to live up to the giddy energy, romance and terrific dancing of its progenitor. Full Review

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
Jansen might not be the best storyteller, but she's a wonderful choreographer, adapting the styles of her stars (both nondancers before the movie) to complement each other beautifully. Full Review

This film is too noble to get down and dirty. Full Review

Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
Becomes laugh-out-loud awful, with dreadful, lame lines delivered painfully badly -- as if a different screenwriter and director had taken over for the movie's final act.
