They took a beloved classic and bloated it to three hours by adding story lines that weren't necessary and cutting others that were beloved. They updated and re-imagined all the songs making the characters sing them. I was either laughing or cringing the entire movie. Poor Abigail Breslin, this was not the role for her, her portrayal of Baby had all the personality of a wet dish mop. Sadly she had little to no chemistry with Colt Prattes (Johnny Castle). I don't know if it was the costuming or the undergarments, but I was distracted by Baby's chest region just about every time she was on screen. You couldn't not see them. Sarah Hyland cast as Baby's sister Lisa may have been a better choice for Baby. Bless their hearts they tried - but they epically failed. It took watching the original three times to rinse this version from my mind.
