    This was very disappointing!! Neither of the leads danced anywhere as well as there predecessors. Nor was their acting up to snuff. I can not in good conscience recommend anyone waste 2 hours on this.

    Oh Look, Another Terrible Remake
    This remake has none of the ingredients that made the 1987 film great.

    I'd just like to give a shout-out to all my friends who suggested to me that I should actually watch this when it airs... it was completely worth it (sarcasm). Considering the fact that I hadn't even watched the original, I was amazed out how quickly I was offended over the crappy chemistry, horribly dull and uninspired "musical moments," and the long... long... long in a way that's notI'd just like to give a shout-out to all my friends who suggested to me that I should actually watch this when it airs... it was completely worth it (sarcasm).

    This TV movie is bloated with additional storylines and loses the joy of the original. ... Be prepared to fast-forward--a lot.

    Breslin and Prattes are more or less adequate in the pivotal lead roles, but certainly no match for the smoldering chemistry that Swayze and Grey displayed both on and off the dance floor.

    This contemporary version, stuffed with subplots and extended dance sequences and terrible writing (“We’re all gonna be worm food, anyways,” Baby tells Johnny in one impressively lust-squashing shrug of a line) can’t decide whether it wants to emulate the original Dirty Dancing or transform it into Chekhov. Either way, it’s less the time of your life and more three hours you’ll never get back.
