The Dirty Dancing Remake Was a Total Flop, But Twitter’s Reactions Were Gold
The recent Dirty Dancing remake was a complete disaster, and social media is having a field day with it. The original film is a classic that should have been left untouched, but as they say, hindsight is 20/20. The ABC version that aired recently was nothing short of a train wreck.
While some cinematic failures can be entertaining—think Sharknado or Showgirls—this remake missed the mark entirely. It begins in New York City in 1976, with the character Baby (played by Abigail Breslin) attending a musical called Dirty Dancing. Using the same font as the 1987 original raised some serious questions about the timeline. After an odd car ride, we finally arrive at the resort, but it’s just too confusing to revisit.
The magic of the original film is indescribable and simply can’t be replicated, as we painfully discovered. Attempting to recreate a classic is risky—imagine trying to remake The Outsiders (spoiler: they tried, and it flopped). Now, about this Dirty Dancing fiasco: the dancing was lackluster, and there was zero chemistry between the actors. Here’s a glimpse, and trust me, it’s not pretty.
Critics like Jenna Scherer of Rolling Stone summed it up well: “Wayne Blair and Jessica Sharzer’s remake tries to be everything to everyone and ends up being nothing to anyone.” Well, it did give us some of the funniest Twitter reactions in recent memory.
Just look at this side-by-side comparison that perfectly captures the essence of the remake. The reactions range from disbelief to outright mockery, and frankly, they’re the best part of this whole ordeal.
