The first trailer for ABC's musical remake of Dirty Dancing premiered last night at an 'ABC upfront' event for media. Not that I exactly expected this to be amazing, but some of the reviews aren't great to say the least. Another classic that should have definitely been left alone.
From the Hollywood Reporter:
11) Dirty Dancing - This was not a pilot trailer, since Dirty Dancing is a filmed three-hour musical event or something, but this is the closest to a "Why God, Why?!?" reaction I've had this upfront week. Every second looked embalmed or worse, a sad effort to re-create something that required no re-creation. Leading the cast list with Debra Messing and Bruce Greenwood was ridiculous and "Introducing Colt Prattes" didn't play at all, especially when Johnny can only be compared to Patrick Swayze, whose presence at the start of the teaser reel was easily its highlight. I laughed out loud at the delivery of "Nobody puts baby in the corner." I doubt there's time to reshoot this whole thing, so... Ugh.
