Dirty Dancing is a steaming pile of crap and that is not because it's a chick flick. I watched it objectively and still thought it was bad. The direction was banal. The story unbelievable and the characters poorly written. I don't like musicals much anyhow but take Saturday Night Fever. I don't like it but I can certainly appreciate it as a film.

I feel the same about Grease too. I do like some musicals though. Oliver, Singing In The Rain and Top Hat are excellent.
