Alicia I love this movie so much
CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!
Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
KongKristin Couldn't even finish it, it was to awkward and bad. The ladies playing the sisters in this «remake» are actually good actresses, so I can not for the life of me understand why they did this movie. I lost some respect for them because of it. DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE! Stick with the original
jge-06942 I am a huge fan of the original movie, so I was already skeptic about this version...classics like this just shouldn't be touched. And I was so right...Watched about 20 minutes of this new version and couldn't bare to watch another minute! Awful acting, it was all simply horrendous. If their intention was to make a parody about the movie, then they succeeded...just the most horrendous movie I ever (almost) watched. Don't waste your time.
martasousafdez In fact I'm thankful for 3 hours movie. Why?? because I laughed so hard! I just watched it now on TV, six months after they released it. I'm not an easy laugh person but I swear with this joke-parody-remake I had the time of my life laughing so hard. Well it was half laughing, half awkward - painful to see in a lot of scenes. I had the need of stop looking at the screen sometimes for the embarrassing moments the main characters were playing. Abigail is the worst of the movie. It looks like the whole production is mocking her by making her ugly, silly, stiff, NUMB! I almost felt pity for her. But lets not forget she's a grown up woman now, enough to auto-evaluate herself and recognize she's not in the mood or with the skills to play that role. She looked like on drugs, as I said, numb and slow, like she wasn't completely on her mind... And it's not because of her weight, it's not about if she's fit or not, because we all have seen Hairspray and the main character was a chubby, fatty girl, and she Nailed it! come on... it's not about the body, it's about the attitude. Did they do it on purpose, about dressing and make up them all horribly?? Specially Abigail?? Well, they succeed, Congratulations! And thanks again for the laughs. Now I know what to do every time I feel sad or depressed. Just watch it, but not with a serious thought, only as an absurd parody such as Scary movie, and laugh. Who would have thought they were trying to awaken our sense of humor!P.D. They had to be, in a parallel Universe were the whole and last product movie seemed right.
mayreed-74835 Dirty Dancing 2017 Recap (just a few notes): 1. Why did I do that to myself?2. Watched the entire thing with a "what the f***?!" look on my face.3. Final, iconic!!!, scene - ruined. Utterly and completely ruined. The one scene that is all about Baby and Johnny was filled with other characters who have no business being there!4. Casting - horrible! Breslin may be a talented dramatic actress and what not, but oh dear lord, she was a bad choice for Baby! Grey's Baby was innocent and sexy and smart all at the same time; a clumsy mess who blossomed into this wonderful dancer. A pleasure to look at! Breslin's Baby was a clumsy, boxy, needy, crying mess throughout the entire movie! There was no wonderful transformation! And her attempts at being sexy and sensual just made me uncomfortable. The sex scene with Johnny was excruciating to look at. The two actors just don't fit!5. This movie is a remake. My question is, was this intended to be the "chubby remake"??? Has society lost its mind with this whole PC thing that the iconic character of Baby, and even of her statuesque mother, had to be chubby??? Many roles can and maybe even should be played by a woman with a little bit of weight on, but not this role! Not Baby! But, at the very least, if you decide to go in that direction, get a curvy girl who can move, who is nice to look at!6. The parents got a story line of their own. Why? Why? Why? Why?!? What for? This movie is not about anyone except Baby and Johnny! Everything else is either "facilitating" to their story, or "background noise".7. To sum, it feels as if the creators of this remake sat down, took the script of the original movie, and went: "OK. Let's f*** up 50% of the good stuff, let's throw out the other 50% of good stuff, and let's put in new stuff that suck".I'll admit - I love Dirty Dancing. I watched it way over 10 times. I know many scenes by heart. There is not one thing wrong with this movie. Yet I never considered myself one of those crazy "don't dare say a bad word about it" kind of fan. When I learned that they were making a remake, I thought to myself "that's a bad idea", but unlike many die-hard-fans, I knew I was going to watch it. Out of sheer curiosity, if nothing else. I told myself "how bad can it be?" I was wrong. It can be very bad. Excruciatingly bad. Don't watch it. Don't do it to yourself. I just hope that young people who will watch it, will watch the original one, as well.
