Hi teachers,
Could you correct this short paragraph about the movie 'Dirty Dancing'?
The plot in this film is about a family that goes to a hotel for their summer vacation. Baby, the daughther, is bored. One night while she is listening to the music from a party that takes place near where she is, she decides to go there.
Baby meets Johnny Castle, a dance instructor. She is instantly attracted to him.
As days go by the dance together to prepare a special dancing.
They love each other very much, but their social differences kill their love relation.

Thanks in advance.

It's a "resort" not just a hotel.
 
These movies are often called a "coming of age" movie in which one of the characters makes the transition to adulthood.

This is a coming-of-age movie about a teenage girl, Baby, on vacation with her family at a summer resort.

Hi,
Could you tell me the reason to use '... a coming-of-age ..' with hyphens to talk about the movie and not with the definition?

HIi

I understand it is because "coming-of-age" is used as an adjective for "movie".

Hi,
Thank you for your help. So, it is a modifier, a group of compound words, for 'movie'.
