Movie Reviews of Salsa - The Motion Picture
Movie Review: Salsa IS HOT!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. I first watched it when it was released on video VHS 1988. I was 12. I have watched it many times since. I bought the soundtrack in the early 1990's and then bought the VHS some years later. I only purchased a proper copy of this on DVD via Amazons. I recently discovered Amazons early this year and have bought of alot of imported DVD's and CD's. Knowing that you can now get some of your favourite movies now on DVD, factory sealed. I have alot of VHS movies now being shelved. I am building up my DVD collection by replacing my VHS versions.
The best part I love about the film is of course, the DANCING AND THE MUSIC. My favourite songs are Salsa Heat by Michael Sembello, Puerto Rico by Michael Sembello, Good Lovin (love this song!!), Chicos V Chicas and Margarita.
The acting is very average, because that is not what you are really watching it for. I also loved Rodney Harvey, he was good-looking at that time.
Cheers 4 now

Movie Review: No major story line, but this is fun and hot ;-)
Summary: 5 Stars
Salsa is a brilliant movie - one of the best movies with no major plot. There is fantastic music and great dancing and a hot guy - what more could you want.
Rico (Robby Rosa and Menudo) wants to win a dance competition that will take him to Puerto Rico. He's also the older and over protective brother to Rita and when she starts dating his best friend Ken, he goes nuts when he finds out (they keep their relationship secret for a while). Will this ruin his chance of winning the dance comp?
As I said earlier, there is fantastic music in this movie. Margarita and Under My Skin are the best. The actual scene when they play Margarita is fantastic. It's a now dated movie, but it is still a favourite of mine that I do watch over and over again still. I love it and any fan of dance movies should love it to - especially if you like that latin flavour.
Movie Review: The Greatest Movie of Our Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Never before has a movie moved a nation into the mood for dancing salsa. I even heard Francis Ford Coppola wanted to make this movie but he was afraid he wouldnt make it the way everyone wanted it.
The salsa dancing makes West Side Story look like Breakin 2. The minor plot lines with the best friend going out with the sister has Godfather 2 written all over it. Hell, the steamy scenes with robby and his chicks have people in the Adult industry jealous. This movie had a nation on their feet dancing to the funky sounds of Celia Cruz and Tito Puente but the movie will be remembered for the rest of our lives. Salsa didnt win the Academy Award but it wins the Dancing Academy award and will forever.
Movie Review: Cheesy love story
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie when it was out in the movie theaters (1988, not 1980). I went to see it because of Robbie Rosa and Rodney Harvey. Yes, the acting was brutal and the plot was predictable. If you're looking to learn some good Salsa dance moves, this movie is not for you because the dancing wasn't very good. That being said, I still love this movie. It was a cheesy love story with amazing music. For me, there's something awesome about this movie. Maybe it's Rosa and Harvey (who was real awful)? I knew this movie wasn't going to be a huge hit so I didn't expect a big deal. I recommend this movie if you like cheesy love stories cuz that's all it really is.Movie Review: Salsa
Summary: 5 Stars
The music is great,I really love this movie I even sent my neice in Arizona a copy it was my Mom's favorite she used to tell me about all the danceing and the music. If you are a fan of Salsa then this movie is for you good story line it's about a young Puerto Rican and his dream to go to Puerto Rico and win the Salsa Competion. The music will get to you it's that good you will want to get up and dance. It's an old movie but it is still good. Robby Rosa star's in this movie you will remember him from the Group Menudo, Rodney Harvey from The Outsiders another old movie so if you love music and like to dance get it.
