Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
In pre-revolution Cuba, Katey Miller is about to defy everyone's expectations. Instead of a parent-approved suitor, Katey is drawn to the sexy waiter, Javier, who spends his nights dancing in Havana's nightclubs. As she secretly learns to dance with Javier, she learns the meanings of love, sensuality and independence.

That was an excellent one.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Fantastic music! The leading man is so cute, and a little shy, however I've really enjoyed this movie, especially obsessed with the cuba soul (music and dance)!
Well, I like this movie. Filmed in Puerto Rico though? Nothing against Puerto Rico because I love it there. I just wish it was filmed in Havana, Cuba considering the title, but I guess we weren't allowed to film there in 2004. Oh well! But there's a song on the soundtrack that I want to hear again. I can't figure out the name of it, but I've heard a version of it before. I'm guessing the song is mixed unusually, but I really liked it. I'll have to research all the songs. I wasn't expecting to see Patrick Swayze in this one, but I was pleasantly surprised. He's just a natural born dancer, a very good one as well. Even though there's a competition near the end of this movie and it doesn't have the outcome I was expecting, it was still a pretty good flick.
I personally loved this movie, I loved the Cuban twist, I loved the music, the beats, and the dancing. Neither of the main characters had dance experience but wound up lighting up the screen. They had a great connection between them.I had to re-watch this movie after watching the ABC remake of the original Dirty Dancing. My soul needed to be cleansed.Just a few comments: This is NOT a remake of the original Dirty Dancing, nor is this a sequel. The original Dirty Dancing took place in 1963. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights takes place in 1958.For those upset that it didn't match up to the original? It wasn't supposed to. Unlike the original Dirty Dancing, this one is actually loosely based on the true life of producer JoAnn Fregalette Jensen who moved to Cuba with her family in 1958.If you didn't like this movie, then "Si. Yous a square."
I have never had a worse cinematic experience than I had with this movie. You may think I am exaggerating to some degree, but assure you not, I am serious. This is possible one of the most clichéd, worst acted, worst written movies in all of cinematic history. Why this movie was even made is beyond me, but the people who made it deserved to be fired, burned at a stake and to be never let back into movie making. This movie literally caused me pain while I watched it. This can't even be considered a movie. This is a masterpiece. A masterpiece of failure. How do you manage to make something this bad? I sure have no idea.Think about this. This movie got greenlit. Someone pitched this movie to a studio, and they bought it. For real money!I should probably mention the plot of this movie. You can't really call it a plot though. It's more of what happens when literature dies, when all creativity is lost. It is so cliché filled that even a baby could predict the plot. It's about a generic ugly duckling girl who meets the man of her dreams when they move to Cuba during the crisis. Why they decided to place the plot there is beyond me, when this plot would work in literally every setting. Please, don't watch this movie. Save yourself from the pain that it will cause. If you have a copy, burn it.
