This is also based on TRUE events, which makes it even more authentic in my eyes. The only thing I could think of is that maybe they should've just named it Havana Nights to avoid confusion.

ITA- I think the producers didnt think that the hard-core DD fans would have such a problem with the title of the movie. I think Havana Nights would have been a fine title and we would have gotten the hint that this was a "dirty dancing" movie plus we would have been surprised with the Patrick Swayze cameo. But I guess they had to come out with the "reimagination" line so that we wouldnt think they were blatently copying from DD.

I still think this movie is great- I love Diego too! I cant wait for DVD so I can watch it again and again like the original. I hope there are lots of extras!

I love the original so much that i just got the Ultimate Edition DVD and its packed with extras and also a little segment on HN. I wish I knew how or could make screen caps of it cuz the shots of Diego smiling are great.
