I think ABC’s Dirty Dancing remake just put the nail in the remake coffin.
Trying to turn an unknown actor and Abigail Breslin into Baby and Johnny was about as likely to work as my husband and I trying to do the lift.
No chance. Zero, zip, zilch, none.
Twitter agrees with me.
Forget Baby. I put myself in a corner, rocking and crying. #Dirtydancing

I honestly don't know why they thought they could remake #DirtyDancing

#DirtyDancing The local weather just barged in with a severe storm warning and I'm enjoying it more than this remake.

What Patrick Swayze would do to the ABC Producers if he was alive right now.

Netflix and Amazon Prime must be getting bombarded with searches for the original #DirtyDancing to cleanse everyone's soul of this disaster

Can we please appoint a special counsel to investigate who colluded with @abc to interfere with one of my favorite movies??? #DirtyDancing

They should have remade Ghost, where Patrick Swayze haunts Whoopi Goldberg to stop the foolish remake of #DirtyDancing

If ABC was smart, they'd run the original #DirtyDancing the next three nights in primetime without commercials, as penance for their crimes.

If they can cancel shows mid-season, can they cancel movies halfway though too?! This is atrocious. 🙈 #DirtyDancing

Seriously, these had me crying laughing and they just kept coming!
Abigail Breslin is hardly an “unknown” actor!
What a terrible mess this was.
Yes I realized who she was after I posted it. I’ve never seen her in anything else besides Little Miss Sunshine when she was a kid so I didn’t recognize her. I just edited the post. Still, the movie was doomed. It’s not her fault, it just never should have been remade.
