If you actually gives this remake a chance, it's not so bad, especially if you view it as it's own thing and not compare it to the original. I love the expanded storylines for all of the side characters, especially Baby's parents. I love the singing and that they had new artists update the same soundtrack from the 1987 film. It's a really cool concept that I think everybody should give a chance.
Now, are the leads as captivating as Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey? No. Abigail Breslin is a talented actress but she was terribly miscast as Baby. Colt Prattes had the unfortunate task of trying to fill Patrick's unfillable shoes and that overshadows how insanely talented he is, especially his vocals!
Give it a chance. Is it perfect? No. Is it the original? No. Enjoy it for what it is anyway,
