The Internet Doesn't Love ABC's 'Dirty Dancing' - See the Tweets
Are you watching the Dirty Dancing remake right now on ABC?
The special three-hour filmed musical event features the story from the 1987 film told from a fresh perspective, diving deeper into the iconic characters, and tackling social themes like race, women’s rights and the socio-economic division in the country at that time.
Viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on the acting, music, and some of the changes that were made.
The feedback was less than stellar, but the original was so beloved that we’re not sure it ever had a chance…

The remake of 'Dirty Dancing' is the most traumatizing thing I have witnessed since Election Night '16. #DirtyDancing #LeaveClassicsAlone

I don't know what's worse: the acting, the dancing, the lack of chemistry, or the horrible renditions of iconic songs. #DirtyDancing
