Not a sequel, not really a prequel, sort of a remake, more of a
re-imagining, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights follows the blossoming love affair of
young couple Katey (Romola Garai) and Javier (Diego Luna) against the backdrop
of the Cuban Revolution in 1958. Katey is an American girl living in Cuba with
her parents who meets Javier, a local. Javier takes Katey to a nightclub where
he teaches her how to dance dirty Cuban-style. The two grow closer and closer,
but when Castro takes over, Katey's parents decide to flee for the U.S., leaving
Katey to make the ultimate decision. Tying the film together with the classic
1987 original is Patrick Swayze who reprises the role of Johnny Castle in a
cameo. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide
