Critic Reviews
Sufficiently original and engaging to be called merely "Havana Nights" but will no doubt get a boost by the reference to the popular 1987 "Dirty Dancing."
Read the full reviewSuperficial but entertaining new pic offers equal parts freshness and kitsch appeal set to a pulsating Latin soundtrack.
Read the full reviewIt's only possible to have the time of your life once, and, for this franchise, that was in 1987.
Read the full reviewContains all the elements of a satisfying teen genre picture, but they've been compromised out of existence.
Read the full reviewLuna and Garai struggle to look like they're having the time of their life. But the movie, more wan than wicked, proves you can't go home again.
Read the full reviewSwayze's presence crosses the line from curious to bizarre and adds a heavy layer of cheese to Havana Nights.
Read the full reviewThere are two sparks of light amid the trifling dialogue and bad faux-'80s love-on-the-beach montages in Havana Nights, and they are the film's costars.
Read the full reviewBland though it is, "Havana Nights" could be the start of a globe-bettering franchise -- and across history, too: "Dirty Dancing: Monticello Mornings"; "Dirty Dancing: Gaza Strip Afternoons."
Read the full review[Garai and Luna] must be given credit for their presence and charisma in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, and together with the film's general ambiance, they do a lot to make amends for the lockstep plot.
Read the full reviewIt's disappointing the film is so sketchy and underdeveloped. The filmmakers may have sold their story short.
Read the full reviewIf you can't find a more scintillating brand of dirty to enjoy during your own nights (Helena or Hoboken), you're not trying very hard.
Read the full reviewIt's one of the rare films for which a blooper reel would be redundant.
Read the full reviewThe movie is still a routine Hollywood high school morality play.

Feel That Latin Beat and DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
"This is a great movie. This shows us what was happening in Cuba at the time and the peoples hardships. It also shows a girl that finally realizes what is going on around her in the real world. She was sheltered and now she is living and learning about life. This is a great movie!! I would recomend it to anyone that loves dancing, romance, and a little political/reality in their films."
Oh Gosh!
"This is an awesome movie! I would recomed it for 13 though just because of it is dirty dancing lol But its soo good I'm 15."

Havana HOT STUFF
"Deigo Luna is sooooo HOTTTTTT!!!This movie is great.HEEEHEEEE!"
Havana Night's - He'll show her the time of her life !
"Havana Nights is a film which highlights the divisions between classes in society . Its set in pre-revolutionary cuba, Javier is a waiter and Katey is a middle class customer. When they meet and fall for each other , every one has an opinion to voice about it ! In the end in true film style "love conquers all ! " And he shows her "The Time of Her Life !!" Although the film carries the "Dirty Dancing " name the film is a credit unto its self, it proves that its what you think counts and love knows no bounderies !!. ed M.S wisbech"
