Synopsis
In pre-revolution Cuba, Katey Miller is about to defy everyone's expectations. Instead of a parent-approved suitor, Katey is drawn to the sexy waiter, Javier, who spends his nights dancing in Havana's nightclubs. As she secretly learns to dance with Javier, she learns the meanings of love, sensuality and independence.

Chicago Tribune
A pelvis-gyrating, ponytail-releasing, shirt-unbuttoning good time. - 50
ReelViews
It's only possible to have the time of your life once, and, for this franchise, that was in 1987. - 50
The A.V. Club
Contains all the elements of a satisfying teen genre picture, but they've been compromised out of existence. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
There are two sparks of light amid the trifling dialogue and bad faux-'80s love-on-the-beach montages in Havana Nights, and they are the film's costars. - 40
L.A. Weekly
The dance sequences might have saved it, were it not for the fact that director Guy Ferland seems to have learned everything he knows about (over) shooting and (blindly) cutting such scenes from watching "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago." - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
It's disappointing the film is so sketchy and underdeveloped. The filmmakers may have sold their story short. - 30
Dallas Observer
Silly, misguided, formulaic and largely a piece of trash, but it's not quite a disaster. There's the dancing and the music and the sunlight. - 30
The New York Times
It's one of the rare films for which a blooper reel would be redundant.
