Dirty Dancing: O Musical

This was painful to watch. The change in storyline and and relationships/situations was terrible. Cast was even worse, especially Baby. Also, there was singing added, which didn't work and completely through off the dynamic between the characters. Overall, completely terrible. Watching the original as I write this - what were they thinking??

Probably the worst remake in the history of the remakes! In this movie "Baby" couldn't dance in the beginning of the movie, nor could she dance at the end of the movie!! Terrible casting for that part and others. There was absolutely no chemistry between Baby and Johnny... I mean none. I truly feel bad for people that were a part of this movie, it's embarrassing.

The only thing this movie accomplished (other than wasting allot of people's time) was highlight how good the original was.

This remake may have a great cast of actors but Dirty Dancing isn't just about the iconic lines and scenes. It's about the magnetic connections and tension between the characters, the swagger and desire, innocence and curiosity, and pushing the boundaries of the 1980s movies. Simply put, the magic is missing. The vibe, the joy, the heartache - none of it is there. Sometimes, remaking a classic movie is the WRONG move. When they get it right the first time....leave it alone! No need to waste three hours watching this film.

Take all the charm,romance, chemistry and fun of the 1980s summer loving flick. Now toss it in a rock timber until all that great stuff is ground off in an abrasive mess of modern musical, ham handed choreography, bad hair cuts, worse costuming and back ground actors that are better looking than the main cast and you have dirty dancing 2017. This movie could not decide what it was. Romance? Kind of but not really. Caution tale? Well it draws on the moral delima of affairs but keeps them coming. Musical? If you like musicals with lots of dialog and a dinner theatre soundtrack. Remake? In the modern tradition absolutely. As they took what worked and removed it to make something else with the same name. I think it's a horror film. It's cheesy, has bad acting, a low budget with old name actors looking for a payday, stormy nights and a lurking ancient evil. That evil being the demon of remakes feeding on the souls of the cast. Honestly every person involved in this film should give everyone who watched it 5 dollars and a written apology.

I'll put it to you this way...I have been on IMDb for many, many years and THIS is my first review because I am compelled to ware people to "Save yourselves!" One of the worst remakes I have ever seen. The acting , lip-syncing and dancing were all terrible. The iconic ending saw soo bad especially when everybody was trying to sing. It was just ridiculous.
