Dirty Dancing (2017 TV Movie)
1/10
Dirty Dancing? More like Stiff as a Board.

Oh god I wish that I could say there was good things in this remake but unfortunately the bad outweighs the good. Let's start out with casting. Abaigail Breslin possibly the worst casting ever she had no chemistry with her co-star, she had absolutely no rhythm so watching her dance was a painful experience in itself and to add insult to injury I found her to be extremely annoying to watch. Colt Prattes wasn't horrible and I didn't mind his rendition of Do You Love Me but I just couldn't see the chemistry between his character and Baby with Nicole Scherzinger and Katey Sagal sure there was the chemistry that was clearly lacking with Abaigail Breslin but I could see why people were commenting that Nolan Gerard Funk would've been a better Johnny. Sarah Hyland did great with what she was given and honestly I would've preferred her as Baby. The parents were irrelevant I mean why were they even given a story line. The music was meh. I mean they destroyed She's Like The Wind but whatever. What killed me was the dancing. I mean it's called Dirty Dancing for gods sake and there was none of that. It was supposed to be great dancing culminating into an amazing end dance number and all I saw was something truly cringe worthy. Nothing but swaying, a few basic side to side steps and some twirls thrown in for effect. It was nothing but a disappointment and don't get me started on that ending lord what a waste. So that's 2 hours I'll never get back. So do yourself a favor you wanna watch Dirty Dancing watch the original because this will suck out your soul and leave you ranting at what they've done to such an amazing film. If I could rate this a zero I would. A 1 is being generous.
