    Remember that this is a remake. If you want it to be exactly as the original, watch the original. I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the original version.

    This is a decent remake. Forget the pearl-clutching and the pursed lips over any supposed 'desecration' because the original is considered so 'sacred'. And enjoy the new version for its expanded universe. I did. (All right: I still think Patrick Swayze is a more attractive Johnny than Colt Prattes. But the fact they sang all their own songs.

    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.
