Thoughts on the Dirty Dancing remake...

After mulling this over a bit, I do not see what can be offered in a remake/reboot that would add something positive to the "franchise".
Dirty Dancing was one of those movies that represents a moment in time where direction, casting, script, acting and soundtrack came together in such a way, that nothing will compare.  It is far from a flawless movie, but no one will "be" Johnny Castle other than Swayze, and no one will be "Baby" other than Jennifer Gray.
Now, if it is a modern themed "reboot", ideally with different character names, it might be worth a look... but my faith in Hollywood "doing the right thing" makes me believe it will be a putrid flop.
