My friend Ray lost his dog and went walking around his neighborhood knocking on doors asking if anyone had seen his dog. To his surprise Patrick Swayze answered the door. When Ray told him why he knocked on his door he said Patrick suddenly turned around and went into his house and came back with shoes on, Then he said to Ray "We can cover more houses if we work opposite sides of the street". So without being asked Patrick was off across street to knock on doors. What a cool guy. RIP
Can you imagine Patrick Swayze knocking on your door looking for a dog? What an incredible man. His energy was so much like Keanu Reeves' energy today. He's the only other star I can imagine doing something like that. 💕 I suddenly feel like watching Point Break. 🏄♂️
I’ll take things that didn’t happen for 200
@@johncanaparius3233 Ray Salazar plays the cholo in the passenger seat in the movie FRIDAY, he met many movie stars and never told stories about them. The fact that he told the story at all and where he lived at the time Shadow Hils, CA. ( Tons of horse properties) would suggest it was true.
@@johncanaparius3233 If You live in Los Angeles you would know it's not totally uncommon to meet movie, sports, music stars. My friend worked at a gas station in Calabasas, CA. that Pam and Tommy Lee and many other famous people used as their regular spot. Another friend works at a vegan restaurant and personally knows many famous regulars. I use to run a farmers market stand and had tons of famous clients. Alan Cranston's daughter was a big fan of our tea and he regularly accompanied her (he never spoke, just smiled) If you can't believe that I don't know what else to tell you.
Wow
This is a movie about the class system. Upper class vs. lower class. The waiters, the ones who have the most contact with the guests, are from upper class families and they are there to network and get recommendations to get into ivy league universities and medical and law school. The entertainment staff are usually from the lower classes, as "respectable" people thought that show business was vulgar.
The upper class folks in the big cities in the east, NY, Philly, etc. would take a whole summer, sort of like going to camp, up in the Catskills and Poconos. Since the wives and kids did not work, they would stay at the resort during the week and the husbands, the breadwinners, would work and come up on the weekends. Air conditioning was not common in homes and cities get unbearably hot in the summer. So city dwellers would vacate for the summer.
The waiters are also Jewish, like all of the guests. The entertainment staff are not. The film is not just about class.
The wealthy city dwellers went to the Catskills - the plebs stayed in town and sweat their behinds off !!
This film was a major statement about the dangers of abortion being illegal. Much more than about class.
This is so true! My girlfriend and I stayed at the "White Elephant" in Martha's Vineyard. The entire staff was clearly made up of rich kids from Great Brittan who were attending boarding schools. It was like having the cast of Harry Potter waiting on you.
I live in South Florida. I noticed that most of the high end restaurants in Palm Beach are staffed by young people who clearly grew up on Palm Beach.
@@mortisrat Catskills, which the resort in the movie is based on, historically had a lot of jewish guests. Other summer resort areas downright didn't want jewish people, like Maine. Most i guess didn't care.
I don't see any commentary on that topic in the movie.
The class commentary is pretty much in your face though.
Patrick Swayze was an incredible actor. He was also a classically trained ballet dancer as well as a a martial artist.
You were talking through the best part when the wife tells her husband to sit down because the wife realizes that their daughter is transforming into a woman.
They never stopped talking. It was exhausting.
2 hens
Patrick’s mother was a dance instructor and Patrick learned to dance with her. He actually blew out his knee playing football in high school so he lost his college scholarship. Instead he went to New York and became a professional ballet dancer. When his knee would no longer allow him to dance so he went to Hollywood to try acting. His first movie was The Outsiders and then he did Red Dawn.
Actually his first break through film was Skatetown
Red Dawn with J Grey where they didn’t like each other all that much.
The Outsiders is such a good movie!
No way, never knew that. Thanks for sharing that.
Was pretty good in Uncommon Valor as well. That was a great movie all around.
It shows how different it was in that time period compared to your time. Parents didn't keep tabs on their children in the same way even though our parents were strict. The rules usually were to do whatever your morning chores were then you could go outside until dark or until dinner. Parents expected that you were not going to misbehave but almost everyone did something our parents would not approve of if they knew. This movie surprised me when it first came out because I thought it was going to be a romantic dance movie but it tackled such serious topics. It subtly addressed the change that was happening in the country during this time. I'm happy you both enjoyed it.
The parents are also a little less restrictive because both their girls are college age, and at that time they expected their daughters to handle themselves and to forge relationships for marriage (it was actually one of the main reasons girls went to college in the 50s and 60s; to learn how to become good wives. There is a great movie set in the same time period called "Mona Lisa Smile" starring Julia Roberts, and it takes place at Wellesley College, the private women's liberal arts college in Wellesley, Massachusetts. The girls in the film are all highly intelligent (Wellesley has an acceptance rate of just 20%; they require you to have high SATs and GPAs), yet they are mostly focused on getting married and throwing away their degrees (something Julia Roberts is trying to change as she teaches there).
Anyway, Toby McGuire plays one of the male leads in the movie and he said the key to it was that the director told them all, "These are not young people trying to remain young and single through their twenties. These are 20-year-olds who want to become 40-year-olds right away. They want to be their parents, settled down with a spouse, a house, and kids of their own."
The Housemans (Baby's parents) feel like they are in a safe, moral environment filled with wholesome people and wholesome entertainment, and the "kids" are supposed to go off and do their own thing.
They're at a resort as well, all inclusive and a rather protected environment for the most part. So it wasn't as if Baby's parents didn't know where she was more or less.
The whole situation with Robbie and how manipulative the situation was behind the scenes was not realized. The fact that the owner of the hotel emphasized to the college boy waiters to schmooze the girls "all the girls -- even the 'dogs"!" means he had his share of knowing these resorts were literal marriage markets as well as a way for them to get financial support from the rich patrons. It's all very layered underneath, which is why this movie has more going for it than is evident on the surface.
Okay I usually love y’all’s reactions but in this one I was screaming SHUT UPPPP AND WATCH at my screen multiple times 😂😂
My thoughts exactly. By the way, have you ever watched the movie Letters From A Killer 1998? I think that is oneof the best Patrick Swayze's movies. He is brilliuant in his role in that movie.
Glad I wasn't the only one.
Literally 😭🤣
Exactly.
If you even bother to read these comments, please listen.
Otherwise it's borderline unwatchable.
Amber was so loud that I couldn’t hear half of it.
This story isn't about a little girl who's personality just changed from one guy... It is about how everyone treats her like a child, hence the nickname Baby, and it takes us through her transformation from childhood to adulthood. If she didn't stand up for things she would have kept doing everything her family and the people around her said and they would have kept treating her like a child. Patrick's character was the first one who looked at her like an adult. Bc she is an adult and I think you guys missed that aspect. So being a father who is very passionate about your daughter is great in all, but at some point we have to let them grow up and make their own choices.
If your kids feel like they have to hide things from you for fear of repercussions, they won’t come to you when they truly need you or are in danger/trouble. The strictest parents breed the best liars.
I always worry when I hear parents talking about keeping their kids as close as possible for as long as possible. Keep them close, but don’t hang on so tight they run away as fast as possible.
A former coworker grew up in the 50s and 60s at a resort exactly like this, as his father was a year-round caretaker. This was his favorite movie, and he vouched for the authenticity of how this kind of resort is depicted in the film.
cool
The Princess Bride has it all (minus horror). Humor, romance, adventure, sword fights, witty dialogue and Andre the Giant for you, Jay.
We will write it down!
Definitely agree!
I want to second, third and infinitify (I know that's not a word) this recommendation!! Love the Princess Bride
Agreed. The Princess Bride is fun for everyone.
The princess bride is one of the best romantic comedy’s ever. You guys will love it.
You spoke of her dancing in high heels, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, moving backwards wearing high heels 😅
Ginger had to be like those football refs that run backwards down the field faster than the players going forward!
The second woman Johnny (Patrick Swayze) danced with in the gazebo was Eleanor Bergstein, the woman who wrote Dirty Dancing. It was based on her own life of vacationing in the Catskills as a teenager. Her nickname actually was Baby. Her sister’s real name was Frances. The first woman he danced with was Vivian the “cougar” who was in real life the assistant choreographer to Kenny Ortega. Great movie. Enjoyed your comments!
RIP Patrick Swayze. Another great movie with him and Demi Moore is the movie Ghost. Whoppie Goldberg won an Oscar for her role in the movie.
Ghost is a must see.
Loved Patrick standing up for Whoopi saying if she's not in movie I'm not either
@@jenkinsjenkins8048 that’s also what Bradley Cooper said about Lady Gaga in a Star is born
@@jenkinsjenkins8048 Whoopi now looks like jabba the hut, and she's a seriously evil person.
They gotta do Road House with Swayze too.😁✊🏽
As a teenager from the 80s, there was a whole set of films of the era such as Dirty Dancing, that are staple ‘must see’ movies. Footloose, Flashdance, to carry on the dance-movie genre, but also Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (Jennifer Grey is in this one too) and Breakfast Club - all teen movies of the time. I could recite the entire script of them all to you still to this day, that’s how many times we watched them on video.
And Fame!!
Oh! Ferris Bueller is a great suggestion!😁
Great list! I'd just add St. Elmo's Fire.
@@kirstiebrote1186 To be honest I had to stop myself listing for fear of overwhelming them - but you’re right, St Elmo’s Fire. Lost Boys also good and I saw The Princess Bride mentioned in the comments too.
Some kind of wonderful. I love the sound of breaking glass.
The scene where she is laughing and messing up the dance is real. Patrick was pissed at her because he really WAS teaching her. It worked so well they left the scenes in the film.
You two are super cute 😊 if I didn’t know better I would think you guys are a little buzzed 😂❤
Another Patrick Swayze movie “Ghost” is an absolute must! Tissues may be needed.
nods
Defo watch it and defo have a box of tissues handy
Yes Ghost is the best!!!!
@Randy marsh I forgot about Always. I loved that movie. So good!
Just watched your Dirty Dancing reaction again. Amber, how could you miss it? Penny had a back-alley abortion, the baby was aborted, and Penny nearly died as well. And Jay, Baby could not do the lift the first time because she didn't completely trust Johnny not to drop her and she did not trust herself. But by the end she trusted him with her life.
Love these guys so much, but they missed several important things while talking.
@@susanalexander6721 I like their reactions but Amber does talk over a lot over key points. I just chalked it up to her possibly being tipsy. 🍻🍹🍸
Until recently(roe vs wade), back alley abortions were unknown to kids today. If I hadn't grown up in the 60's and 70's, I wouldn't have gotten it either. Hopefully it won't be something to get acquainted with again.
@@davidhowell7279 I know. Scary times again.
Yes and the critical parts, look at the economic differences that play into it. She could barely afford the operation that almost killed her. And she certainly couldn't afford the doctor who saved her life. Meanwhile the guy was going off to school happy as can be.
I think Miss Amber has hit the wine bottle prior to watching this movie!
====================================Absolutely
Agreed.
That's what I was thinking lol. Nothing wrong with that.
It sounds like Amber has had a few sherbets 🍷
Nothing wrong with enjoying a nice glass of wine with a movie lol
I wish you could’ve experienced this cultural phenomenon when it came out…initially, when it was released it took many weeks before it became the number one film in the country…all of sudden OUT OF NOWHERE, the film begins to gain traction from viewers through word of mouth, and with the film’s soundtrack it went on to be one of the biggest films of the year, and the soundtrack was #1 for weeks as well! It really is a Cinderella story for this film.
I remember the ads “the summer sleeper”
There’s a great show on Netflix called the movies that made us. They have one episode about this movie, pretty much a short documentary on how difficult it was to get made. This gem almost never was Its kinda the soundtrack to my youth lol
The big quote from this movie is “ nobody puts baby in the corner “. The song that is played when they say goodbye to each other at the car is she’s like the wind The song is done by Patrick Swayze.
I wonder if y’all ever went back and watched the movie again….. cause y’all missed EVERYTHING 😂😂😂
Yep. Too busy talking.
I thought Amber was high on something...
I adore you both. I've watched many of your music reactions and have enjoyed them so much. Please accept some well meant advice from a fan. Pause the movie if you're gonna talk. It was actually quite frustrating because you talked over so much important dialogue. I wanna hear how you react, it's why I watch, but talking over the movie means you miss things that I'm wanting you to react to. Hope you take this in the spirit it's meant. You're both great!
You say to bring your popcorn and favorite drink to watch the movie and just wondering if Amber took that a little too seriously causing the over talking.
Usually loving the reactions just not so much in this case.
100 % AGREE!!!! This one was very very hard to watch! I actually didn’t even make it the whole way thru. Just sayin’. 🤣✌🏼✨
Thank you! Suggestion: Watch and react, then do a separate video to discuss the film after (or at least wait until the end of the film).
The summers in NYC get hot and wealthy families would go to the Catskills for the summer to these resorts. In the show The Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime it's featured a lot in the first season. Unfortunately what happened to his dance partner with her botched abortion happened too often. Patrick Swayze's mom owned a dance studio and he was a fantastic singer. He sings the song She's Like the Wind in this movie.
I would say it was actually a mix of middle class and upper class. But the main thing you missed is that it was based on JEWISH people who had been segregated from the majority and not allowed in most places so Jewish people made their own resorts in the Catskills. This was based off of Kutscher's in the Borscht Belt grand resorts.
actually, second season.
I remember seeing years ago on YT the Docu's about the Catskills and the wealthy Jewish community in the 50's and 60's. It was a fascinating time. Post World War II exploding economy.
And it looks like we are headed right back to those horrible times
@@MoMoMyPup10 It wasn't just wealthy families. It was Jewish families. A lot prospered after the war, and many were immigrants and refugees from the holocaust. They were not allowed in the Hamptons so they went to the Catskills, then it became a destination spot for Jews. I even went in the 80's & 90's with my family growing up as did many of my friends. We were all jewish and middle class.
You both seemed a little confused about the Penny situation. She wanted an abortion but not all women had access to proper Healthcare and it wasn't legal everywhere. So she paid some unqualified guy to do it and he nearly killed her.
Suddenly a relevant topic again....
This was illegal at time film was set, abortions in states only started changing in late 1960s followed in 70s by roe v wade. This film was set in 1963. Sad thing is the abortion scene will become more regular with all the banning going on now
As an 80s baby I am lucky to have only ever knew about that BECAUSE of this movie specifically. My younger cousins were also confused by "the penny situation" too because by the time they were born in the mid 90s people didn't really make those references, or comments about "her friend jane" when a young person got pregnant unintentionally.
Now all of a sudden there's going to be a brand new generation of people who need to go visit Jane again. Terrifying to think of how many Penny's we're about to see in real life
If I remember right it was referred to as a "Back Alley Job". As in going to some sleazy shop in a poor street and getting an Doctor who barely knows what the inside if a woman LOOKS LIKE, let alone qualified to do an abortion, let alone ANY sort of operation.
It wasn't legal ANYWHERE in the early 1960s!!!
The part where Amber was trying not to tell Jay that Penny had an abortion. 😞 I usually love your banter, but I think it would be a good idea to rewind a little if you miss something. And we don't mind because we want to see your actual reaction. You two are so awesome, and all I wish for is your success. Can't wait to see the next one.
YES! Could not agree more. This reaction was very very hard to watch. I actually didn’t make it thru the whole video. Especially with this being a classic and such an amazing movie… they probably would have really enjoyed it and got so much more out of it, if they really paired attention and tried to take everything in. 👍🏼
Agree with your comments
Amber, the look on Jay’s face when you asked him, “can we do this?” when Johnny and Baby were practicing the water lift was so priceless!
The female dancer opposite Patrick Swayze is Cynthia Rhodes. She’s also has a minor role in “Flashdance”. You should definitely check it out.
She was also in Staying Alive, the sequel to Saturday Night Fever, with John Travolta.
Also…she was married to Richard Marx who you’ve reacted to on your music channel.
She is also in the sequel to sat night fever which both of those are good movies as well!
I believe she was the dancer in the Toto video for Rosanna as well
Because of drama between her and Swayze during the shooting of Red Dawn they had to practically beg her to do this movie and Swayze had to give her an apology for what happened.
First…I adore the two of you!! But, seriously…you would get so much out of these movies if you would listen! Almost all of the questions you asked were answered/explained in the movie. I STILL enjoy you…just sharing.
You do understand,they do this just for video.
All this reactors,they don't care about topic or subject they react to,only how many views video will have,and thats the sad thing
They definitely need to press pause so they don’t miss anything.
LOL!! I was just thinking, I could never watch a movie with Jay and Amber because they talk too much!! I guess that is UA-cam!!
Ummmmmm is Amber drunk .?? lol 🥴
I agree. Of course I expect talking in a reaction video, but they were having full blown side conversations and missing so much stuff.
Patrick was amazing. He did balet, dance, acted, martial arts, was incredibly fit and good looking and he sang a song on this soundtrack.
I was looking forward to a Dirty Dancing reaction. What I got was two people that used the movie as background to them talking about themselves instead to the detriment of actually reacting to major plot points.
I don’t know if you guys are paying attention attention lol seem to be missing some points of the movie. I’m sure you’ll settle into these reactions just like you did with the music channel. 😊❤️
It was a coming of age story from her POV - one of the first and Baby's journey from child to woman was honest and real to see on screen. It came out in the 80s and was about the 60s and for many of my friends it was the first glimpse of life when abortion was illegal. These summer vacation resorts would have folks there for varying lengths of time... some for the whole summer. And this was also before birth control was easily available.
Clues in Dirty Dancing place Johnny's age at 25 years old and Baby’s age at 17. No wonder daddy was not pleased.
@@JLC48 I wished they had made her 18 tho.....that's how old I thought she was for years until recently
@@lovinmycurvescurls3842 - watch it again, she was 18 had graduated from high school & wanted to join the Peace Corps before college. It’s covered in the documentary about the making of the film, that she had to be 18 out of school & ready to grow up as she’d had a sheltered upbringing. In a lot of ways it was the woman who conceived the films story minus the dancing.
Apparently the studio had no expectations for this film and it almost went straight to home video! It was a surprise smash at the cinemas worldwide and has now become a classic.
Robby was the waiter that was after "Baby's" sister. You guys really need to pay attention to the movie. :-)
Times were different in the 60s. Not uncommon for teens to freely roam around as long as they stayed in the resort. No cell phones and people were out and about more instead of watching tv. They checked in with the family, in person, at designated times.
Baby gave her the money for a "back alley " abortion. That is why her father was so mad. The time depicted is the 50s. Going away to a places like the Poconos, upper NY. Spend weeks on vacation.
Not 50's, the 60's. POTUS JFK is mentioned.
It's the early 60's being depicted
He was mad because he thought Johhny was responsible for Penny's situation and moving on to his daughter without a care!!
Fun fact, Patrick Swayze taught John Travolta how to dance for his role in Urban Cowboy
18:29 🤣🤣 J's face @ "Can we try that?" Another great one guys!
This was when abortion was illegal, & desperate women turned to having back alley abortions. Many were rendered unable to have children or died from it. This was also before the widespread knowledge of the damage of cigarettes & alcohol to unborn babies...
I hope that whatever is happening with abortion laws in the U.S currently doesn't create situations like this where people feel they have to resort to stuff like this because governments want to control what they do with their body
@@m0nm0n + People are acting like it's ending the right to have an abortion. The right to choose. But the federal government is just trying to back out of something so controversial. They want it left up to the individual states.
@@IChooseJesus9091 so then individual states can end abortion rights then?
@@mmcreads + From Google: - However, individual states can regulate and limit the use of abortion or create "trigger laws", which would make abortion illegal within the first and second trimesters if Roe were overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States.[3][4][5] Eight states-Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wisconsin-still have unenforced PRE-Roe abortion bans in their laws, which could be enforced if Roe were overturned.
So potentially yes individual states could ban it. Texas has banned abortion after the heartbeat is detected. Most other states currently have restrictions based on age, one or both parents being informed, one or both parents consent, the age of gestation, rape, incest, or health risks to the mother, etc. But if Roe is overturned, all the state laws currently being enforced are subject to "possible" change...
@@IChooseJesus9091 ..."They want it left up to the individual states."
Thats the whole concept of America. The Constitution gives very little power to the federal government. Most power goes to the states, ie; STATES RIGHTS. Its just that over the yrs people have stupidly let the government take more and more powers not granted to them, and now we are were we are and that is why America will never be the same. Because the federal government will never give back the power they have.
Haha yes glad you guys enjoyed - don’t worry about the chick flick label, it’ll just hold you back from enjoying some great movies. Anyways might I suggest another classic 80s dance movie, “Footloose”, which is a dance movie but also kind of just an awesome story.
YES!!! 👍😃❣️
Yes!!! Foot loose and Grease!!
Footloose, yes. But watch the one with Kevin Bacon.
RIP Patrick Swayzie 💙
Amber seems like she’s 2-3 beers in on this reaction 🤣 love it
This movie is set in the Catskills, NY, however it was filmed in Pembroke, Virginia. Back in the 40s, 50s, and 60s prominent or prosperous families (mainly of the Jewish faith) would take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months vacation up there. Now the men would usually travel back and forth from work, that's why some where only on the weekends.
Filmed at a resort called Mountain Lake
Also filmed in Lake Lure North Carolina
The bortsch belt or Jewish alps. Many of the one line stand up comedians made there names playing there in the summers
Pretty sure the resort is Rumbling Bald in Lake Lure, NC. They have a Dirty Dancing Festival there each year.
@@craigplatel813 I'm the next generation but watching Mal Z Lawrence at the Concord must have been a hoot. My in-laws wore out their vhs of Catskills on Broadway. Funny stuff
I'm so mixed on these movie reactions. I love hearing your guy's commentary and seeing those personalities I love, but at the same time I was like, "Be quiet, and just watch the movie!" lol. There's so many nuances and plotlines you guys miss by not paying attention. This movie is one of my all time favorites. Of course I am biased, because my first love was a summer love much like the movie. I didn't learn to dance or nothing, lol but it was a formative moment in my life. This movie will always bring me back there. For first love or coming of age movies, Dirty Dancing is top tier.
I definitely agree with you! At certain points, I was like yelling at my screen! They missed so many points in the movie because they talked right over it! Even the whole point that Penny got a back alley abortion because they were illegal at the time. Very frustrating throughout but I still like them.
i had to of yelled shut up 10 times. very frustrating cause i love these guys but im gonna stick to music reactions i think
I know they missed the most famous quote of the film because they talk to much. Nobody puts baby in the corner. I like them but they miss loads of stuff they missed out on the masterpiece of dialogue in rocky 1 because they same reason.
They are missing a lot.
I think this is one of the most fun of your reactions. The way you two interact is so great to see. The best to both of you!
Love watching all your reactions!!!
Would love if you touched on some 80s classics that I loved growing up..Sixteen Candles,The Breakfast Club,Pretty In Pink,The Goonies,The Outsiders,Footloose,The Lost Boys,Urban Cowboy,Young Guns 1&2,Maximum Overdrive,Vision Quest..oh I could go on and on lol but hopefully you will pick up on a few of them :) Keep On Rockin'
These are all great choices but I’d say Goonies is a must
@@georgianajones2346 don't forget st. Elmo fire good 1908s movie demi Moore Judd nelson
Every amazing 80’s film 🎬 has an amazing film soundtrack 🎶
The best part of this reaction video is Jordan's transformation. He goes from "gonna be a chick movie" to triumph fists in the air when Baby sticks the jump, and even agrees to "more romantic movies"! Love the reaction!
This movie was incredibly popular for so many reasons. The acting all around, it showed off the late Patrick Swayze's dancing skills, and made Keds (and jeans turned up at the ankle) so popular in the late 80s.
The last dance scene, when Patrick Swayze jumped off the stage, he dislocated his knee, and it stopped production until he healed, great movie!! One of Swayze's best, to bad he and Jennifer grey, didn't have the best of relationships as far as being friends
Gotta love Jay’s faces when Amber wants to try a move! You need to watch An Officer And A Gentleman.
A great movie.
So much fun watching this reaction with the two of you! One point you brought up, why was a medical student working as a waiter at the resort. Back then, a college student could pay for their university tuition for the year with a summer job. At this kind of resort with wealthy patrons, the tips were probably a bonus. Also, Jewish people were excluded from a lot of vacation places so the Catskills were a major destination for them.
wait in the 60s? why were jews excluded at other places?
@@skribe Businesses could get away with it and antisemitism was and still is an issue.
@@skribe Yes Katherine is correct. If you ever watch old black & white movies and you hear the term “restricted” or “restrictions” regarding a place/establishment, that’s what they’re talking about. Legal discrimination against Jewish people.
You can tell school is not teaching kids anything of value.🙄
They’re at a self contained resort in the 60’s. Her parents aren’t concerned I’m sure…but it never occurs to them to be concerned about Johnny because she never breaks rules.
The rich people who went to the resorts back in those days could have stayed all summer…the kids were on summer break, mom didn’t work and dad could stay as long or commute back and forth.
First time I didn't like your reaction but I love this movie so much.
I wish you a happy new year
Love this movie. Great music, great dancing, great story, great actors. Jennifer Grey comes by her talent naturally her father is the very talented singer, dancer and actor Joel Grey. She also plays the sister of Matthew Broderick in "Ferris Buellers Day Off". Jerry Orbach who plays her father was a talented Broadway actor. He is also the voice of Lumiere in the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast. What can you say about the multi-talented Patrick Swayze? He is and was awesome in this movie and every movie he appeared in. He took this movie to the next level and made it the classic it is. That and the music of the soundtrack.
Joel Grey was a Broadway Star and Jerry Orbach also starred in many Broadway shows and is especially known to most people for is wonderful role as Det. Lenny Briscoe in TV's initial Law and Order cast.
This movie takes place in the Catskills of the 1960s. In the 1970s and prior, Jewish families in New York City used to vacation in the Catskill mountains just north of the city. Antisemitism was rampant and Jews weren't allowed at a lot of the vacation resorts of the time, so the Catskills became an acceptable place to vacation. It became a getaway from the sweltering heat, so many families spent many weeks, even the entire summer, there. Lots of dads would spend the week in the city to work and then drive up to the Catskills where their family was and then go back on Monday. The Catskills had both posh hotels and cabins. My family had a cabin, and my father likes to tell the story of getting caught in traffic and seeing crazy naked people (The Woodstock music festival was up there). Lots of Jewish entertainers made a good living performing in the Catskills (aka The Borscht Belt).
I just left your Hungry Eyes video and looked for this instantly, so happy you guys watched this finally.
Dirty Dancing is awesome! So glad you enjoyed it… Now check out another one of Patrick’s movies ~ “Ghost”. It’s just life changing… Whoopi Goldberg totally deserved her Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Demi Moore and the entire cast are just perfect… And of course the song Unchained Melody is never the same once you see Ghost…hope you enjoy! I’ll be looking for your reaction video…love ya! 💕
Another great reaction! 😊
R.I.P to the late great Patrick Swayze. He passed away in 2009 from pancreatic cancer.
This is another one of my all-time favorite movies.
This movie has one of the best soundtracks. The cast is great. And the dancing is phenomenal.
30:46 Fun Fact: This song that's playing is the song that Patrick Swayze recorded foe the movie. That's him singing.
Fun Fact #2: Jennifer Grey, who plays Baby, went on and the reality dance show "Dancing with the Stars" in 2010. She dedicated her first and last dances to Patrick Swayze.
Another fantastic Patrick Swayze movie that I very highly recommend is the movie "Ghost".
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
Also RIP Jerry Orbach. He was so good in every role he played.
Swayze is an actor who didn't get enough credit when he was alive. His reputation has grown since, rightfully. In addition to Ghost, another couple of Swayze flicks that must be seen (totally different from this and Ghost) are Point Break and Road House.
@@jawbone78 and don't forget Next of Kin.
@@carriechilders4416 I'll put that on my list, since I've never seen it.
@@jawbone78 👍
"The Blues Brothers" would be a great movie to react to, it has cameos of many of the musicians you reacted to on your music channel and it is very funny.
Definitely recommend Blues Brothers. And Brother Where Art Thou.
A thousand times yes.
Thank you guys...best movie reaction on UA-cam, seriously. :) RIP Patrick, you were honestly THE man... X
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this movie! It was a thing for families who could afford it, to vacation in the Poconos & get out of the city (ie NYC). Patrick Swayze grew up in his mom's dance studio, but was also influenced by the culture in Texas. Cynthia Rhodes played Penny, has always been a dancer, she was in the music video Rosanna by Toto. She later married musician/rocker Richard Marx. I saw the movie by myself & fell in love with it & the music. The song I've had the Time of my Life, sing by Bill Medley (of the Righteous Brothers) & Jennifer Warnes, is in my top 10 of favorite songs. I have to rewatch the movie frequently. I'm so glad you reviewed it!
A hint... when Jay said "This would be a good moment for the Manhatans..", the song playing in the background was "She's like the wind" by Patrick Swayze himself. That single went to number 3 in the billboard charts back in 1987... That year 3 songs from this movie topped the charts: She's like the wind, Hungry eyes, and The time of my life... and the soundtrack album is fantastic. Great reaction you guys...
I recommend The Breakfast Club, an 80s classic about five teens stuck in detention together. Each of the kids is being mistreated by their parents in a different way, and the way it plays out in their interactions with each other is really well done.
Roadhouse for the fellas, Dirty Dancing for the ladies.
😂 Y’all Had Me, Rollin’! 😂😅
There's a reason why after all these years, we're still talking about movie like this. They weren't just "Chick Flicks"
They were fantastic movies
I can't wait for Rob to find his enthusiasm for these types of movies like he has the music 😍
I say, definitely...
Grease and Saturday Night Fever
John Travolta is going to be his next man crush 🙃
I agree with you, Cindy. I love Jordan's and Amber's music reactions, but they talk over the movie dialogues so much they miss not only significant plot lines but, in this movie, lots of great music! Fingers crossed they learn to choose their spots better to make comments.
I totally agree on "Grease" and "Saturday Night Fever"---AND that John Travolta will be Jay's next man-crushll
It just dawned on me I called Jordan, Rob 🙃🙄😊
Either way, I enjoy you and your family so much. ❤️
You are such a breath of fresh air.
Just like the beginning of the adventures into music, they'll find their footing. This is part of their charm and why we all keep coming back 😊 That, and all the advice, insights and the overall interactions of the Rob Squad Family. That's why we're here 😊😎😍
@@Ydnic7481 ❤️
I hope y'all continue with the movies...its great watching with y'all. From a Bama with love ❤.
I think maybe Amber has had a little too much vino collapso this evening 🍷 😂
So glad you guys made this channel. I love your music reactions and your movie ones have been just as interesting. :)
Thank you so much 💜
@@robsquadmoviereactions are you guys going to start a patreon so we could watch the whole movie with you guys?
This movie has one of the best soundtracks if any film - including "she's like the wind" sung by Patrick swayze -
Timeless classic of a film
I was 13 when this came out & it was rated 15 in the uk. Everyone my age LOVES this movie, it’s iconic.
This movie was filmed in Lake Lure North Carolina. Great movie Swazie could dance because he worked at his mom's dance studio.
Jennifer Grey's father was the famous Broadway choreographer Joel Grey.
And in Mountain Lake Lodge in Virginia, too
I was obsessed with this movie when it came out. I was 14, and me and my friends were crushing on Swayze lol! Jennifer Grey was adorable in this, but then she decided to get a nose job a while after and it made her barely recognizable. You two should definitely take dance lessons though. You're young and athletic, would be fun.
You guys should react to other Patrick Swayze's films like…
The Outsiders (1983)
Road House (1989)
Ghost (1990)
Point Break (1991)
🎥👌
Road House music provided by Jeff Healy. Another reason to watch "Road House". 👍✌️🇨🇦
Next of Kin is another good one. But you can't miss with my favorite out of this list The Outsiders.
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
Amber you look and sound like you're feeling goooood 🤗
As someone who grew up with this movie and has seen it a gazillion times, I had definitely gotten to a point where it didn't really land like it used to. Watching you react to it the first time reminded me of how fun it actually was while still being so thought provoking about class, women's rights and quickly changing social norms.
I would definitely add "The Jersey Boys" to that list. It's about Frankie Valli the Four Seasons. How their journey starts and the music more importantly!💕 🎶
You guys were too cute reacting to this classic. :)
patrick swayze's mother was a dance chorographer and he was an extremely good dancer from a pretty young age. jennifer gray truly didn't know how to dance at the beginning of this movie and swayze, his dance partner from the movie, and the film chorographers of the movie taught her how to dance. the movie segments of her learning to dance are actually clips filmed from her actually learning. the reason that the movie progression (of her going from not knowing how to dance to being very good) is so very convincing because that's exactly what was happening lol.
He was actually a ballet dancer.
And that isnt true. Jennifer Grey is Joel Grey's daughter. She DEFINITELY knew how to dance. Just maybe not that particular kind.
You guys should do the Rom-Com Overboard from the 80s starring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, it’s such a great movie
That's my #1 movie that if I'm channel surfing and it's on that I have to stop and watch. I have no idea how many times I've seen it.
Absolutely!! Great movie. I watch it every time it's on.
Agree, it’s so funny and heartfelt too and great chemistry
I hadn’t seen that movie in 20 years and I went back and watched it with my daughter. We were both kind of horrified at the plot line of the movie. Yes. Goldie’s character was awful, but he kidnapped her!! Yikes! Aah, the 80s. 🤣
@@EleanorofAquitaine42 yeah it’s a crazy plot but it’s just a bit of fun, I try not to take it too seriously 😂 I think because they are a couple in real life it makes it easier to digest lol they have such great chemistry
The story about the dancer girl-her name is Cynthia Rhodes. She is a professional dancer/actress and can be found in many movies. Her character in this movie gets pregnant and has an abortion, hence the $250. It was done poorly and she gets very sick. The dad comes in to cure her from infection.
More likely that the person who did it cut her up. They weren't know for finesse.....to put it bluntly.
You kids are so sweet together. Baby never did this before. Johnny was her first.
Y’all are so cute! Sis, you are beautiful. I really enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite movies from my Jr. High days 💜
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. One of my favorite love scenes. Just the innocence, your first love, the music, the dancing. Love it. Patrick Swayze was the perfect actor for this part. He always played tough guys but his mother was dancer and dance teacher, so he was actually trained to dance . R.I.P to Patrick. You should watch Ghost. That's a good movie of his as well.
To answer some of your questions: They are on vacation for 6 weeks or 2 months. That was normal for them to stay for the whole summer. This was filmed in the 80s but it’s supposed to be the early 60s. Love this movie. And still use the phrase, ‘nobody puts Baby in the corner’. iconic phrase!
Growing up, my family went in vacation for 6 weeks so it seems perfectly normal for me
The song at 31:05 is She's Like the Wind, which Patrick Swayze co-composed and sang it. He said his wife, Lisa Niemi was the inspiration for the song. He sang songs for other movies he was in too - Roadhouse, Next of Kin, and One Last Dance (with his wife) and the show Tribute to Roy Orbison.
Patrick Swayze died in 2009 losing his battle to pancreatic cancer.
He married his soulmate actress/dancer Lisa Niemi until his death.
R.I.P. Patrick.
One of the best movies made in NC (Lake Lure). Fun fact, this movie couldn't get a major label and was only set to release in VHS. The blonde dancer, Penny was married to singer Richard Marx. Swayze had surgery on his knee before the movie and was in pain a lot during the shoot. The diner they ate at in NC said that everyone was so pleasant except Jennifer Grey, Baby. Families would go to Catskills on vacation and this is what it's based on, one woman's experience.
The lake scenes were filmed in NC. “Kellerman’s,” the fictional resort, was the site of the rest of the movie and was filmed at the Mountain Lake Lodge on Smith Mountain Lake in southwest Virginia.
The last of the Mohicans was filmed in NC also
@@RitaBowen1 another movie they should check out by the way.
@@tjhorne82 definitely
Penny, (Cynthia Rhodes), was also a member of the re-formed synth-pop band 'Animotion' who performed the signature song for the 1988 Dan Aykroyd, Kim Basinger, John Lovitz movie "My Stepmother is an Alien". That song (for the RSR Reactions Channel) was titled "Room To Move", charting at a peak position of #9 on the top 100 for 1989. She is awesome in the official music video!
Dana says- Penny (the blonde dance instructor) is played by Cynthia Rhodes. You've reacted to a song by her ex-husband Richard Marx. She is also great in the movie Stayin' Alive (with John Travolta).
I was so fun watching your reactions
Never in a million years did I ever think watching someones reactions to watching a movie could be that entertaining, but it absolutely was 👍👍,...
Heck Ya! One of my go to romcoms (great music too). Can I suggest “Almost Famous” one of my all time favorite movies. It tells the story of a teenage journalist writing for Rolling Stone in the early 1970s, his touring with the fictitious rock band Stillwater, and his efforts to get his first cover story published. The film is semi-autobiographical, as Crowe (the director) himself was a teenage writer for Rolling Stone.
It was so much fun
@@robsquadmoviereactions "Almost Famous" is one of my favorite movies of all time!! EVER!! Please write it down!! 🥰🎬📽
If you wanna trip through the 80's that will make you laugh your bootie off "The Wedding Singer" with Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore is epic!!
Great reaction AGAIN! You guys are killing it.
@@jennhurl Love that movie too and has great 70s music
Hi Rob family! :) Believe it or not, you have seen Cynthia Rhodes before (the beautiful blond who dances so well with Patrick Swayze). She was in the video for Toto's song "Roseanna" which you watched on your music reaction channel.
In an interview the actress who played Baby said the last dance at the end was the first and only time she actually did the lift! She explains it was because she was so afraid! I’m sure the video of that interview is on UA-cam.
This is one of my favorite movies,glad you guys reacted to it! I love Patrick Swayze, named my older son Patrick. haha
When I was a teen, I went to the ballet (because my gf-at-the-time wanted to go) and realized for the first time how athletic professional dancers really are. Then, later, watching dance competitions and such, I realized just how much of a sport it really is. So, in a way, "Dirty Dancing" was a great bridge movie for you guys because it's kind of a chick flick but also kind of a sports movie. We even get the training montage when Baby is learning and practicing her moves, we see her skill grow as she trains, and, at the end, they pull off the big move that wins the day.
