      WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    While vacationing in the Catskills in the summer of 1963, 17-year-old Baby (Grey) falls for hotshot hotel dance instructor, Johnny (Swayze), who is as experienced in life as she is naive. She gets him to teach her Dirty Dancing, his style. The experience is a coming-of-age time for Baby, and a rebellious time for Johnny, but the more they practice dancing, the closer the two become.

    Reason #61 Why Readers Love Widescreen Review:

    I’m in the process of putting together my first home theatre system. I’m the kind of individual who likes to research products before I buy them, so that what I buy today will not be obsolete tomorrow. Widescreen Review covers all the audio and video equipment that I will need from cables right up to the HDTV monitor.
