MS. Breslin, forgive me. You are such a talented actor, I must be honest in this review.
WHAT DID DIRTY DANCING EVER DO TO THE PEOPLE THAT GREEN LIGHTED THIS ABOMINATION?!?
All of the cast are phenomenal actors in their own right but for the love of Jonny Castle and all that is holy, this was like trying to get gum off a leather seat in the middle of summer.
Casting- OH H*ll No. Nicole was an OK Penny but eeww. All of it just eww.
Chemistry- There was none, zero, zilch. It was painful. Colt was hella hot but who'd notice when Abigail was in the frame. She is adorable but the two of them together was a mismatch to the level of absurdity and cringe worthy. To dance ya gotta have rhythm. Abigail. Bless her heart does not. NOPE,NONE, poor thing.
The Lift- Ain't even gonna go there.
Bruce Greenwood, great actor, but come on. That piano scene, I yayay. I'll never unhear it, not ever.
I love all the actors in the film individually. But this remake will forever be burned into my mind as the worst in history.
