Is it just that Swayze absolutely reeks of the 80s?
Baby seems to represent the coming age of liberal hand wringing about to sweep Murica ... it being set in pre Dallas '63 etc. The rest of the cast mouth the usual staid drivel about 'staying in your place'. This being another instance of Hollywood's rotten core
spouting equality and harmony whilst revelling in a scenario that has Lolita beaten hands down. IMO.
And breathe. The ST wavers from class to that plastique 80s bleugh. Which makes it wildly disorientating ... take me back to ole Andy Milligan ... where the freaks are easier to spot
