Apparently, they didn’t have the time of their life..
TV critics were bashing ABC’s remake of “Dirty Dancing” even before it aired (Entertainment Weekly gave it a C-). And, as it turned out, many viewers agreed.
They took to social media in droves Wednesday night, mocking and trashing the new production starring Abigail Breslin and Colt Prattes –and not exactly in a fun, “Sharknado” kind of way.
Among the snarky, hate-watching adjectives attached to the reboot were “shameful,” “terrible, “gross” and “horrid.” On the other hand, many of the comments and GIFs on Twitter were downright hilarious. In fact, this was one case where the tweets were the best part of the viewing experience.
We’ve rounded up a few for you to peruse. Enjoy.
#DirtyDancing this remake is gross. Why would they even do this? They always have to ruin amazing movies like this http://pic.twitter.com/uVXxmqOoOI

Some viewers tried to dissect what made the 1987 original with Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey so magical in their eyes — and why the reboot didn’t measure up. And another likened it to her Election Night experience …
The original #DirtyDancing was cheesy, and knew it. This is trying to be a serious story. Where’s the chemistry? The sweetness?

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

One fan felt she was being unfaithful to the original …

Another worried about incurring physical harm …

And anger was everywhere …
