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.
The best way to decide what or what not to watch today, as well as another location to share comments about your favorite films. (If you are using a smartphone, be sure to expand posts and check out the web version, too.)

You notice we review lots of horror movies - that is true, my brother an I tend to favor that genre. However, we have seen plenty of the classics, romantic comedies, sci-fi, action, biographies, foreign films, indie films, anime, and westerns, to boot.
Look around end enjoy. Leave comments or email us.
