Over the past few years, Hollywood has delved further and further into what can be called a "remake culture". Almost every movie being produced is a live action remake of a Disney classic, a sequel to a long forgotten movie, or just an updated version of a film that shouldn't have been touched in the first place. Original thoughts are few, far and in between and even if the movie itself isn't a remake, it's still the same idea played out in a slightly different way to avoid copyright issues. While I can get behind some remakes, there are some that really didn't need to happen.

The film in question is ABC’s newest TV remake: Dirty Dancing. Saying this adaptation was a horrible disappointment, even worse than finding out that Santa isn’t real, is a complete understatement. Sitting through three hours of this film is arguably worse than getting a cavity filled in each tooth at the same time while experiencing sun poisoning simultaneously. Here are 6 examples of what went wrong...

1. Casting

Easily my biggest issue with the film was the casting. Granted, you simply can’t compare anyone to Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, and Kelly Bishop. But honestly, it was as if ABC didn’t even try. Abigail Breslin as Baby was easily the biggest mistake the casting director could have made. Little Miss Sunshine has the sex appeal of a cemetery and less chemistry with Johnny than I knew was humanly possible. The only shining star was Sarah Hyland and thank god for her.

2. The Music

My favorite part of the original film is the soundtrack. Each song was perfect for its coinciding scene and each is effortlessly timeless. However, though the songs were the same, each song was a remixed, auto-tuned version sung by an irrelevant cast member or band. Try not to cry at the film's version of "Hungry Eyes", "Be My Baby" (my favorite from the original), and "The Time of my Life."

3. The Lift

The quintessential image of the original is “that lift”, you know the one. I hoped that maybe they would get the lift right so as to give the remake some glimmer of hope for not being the absolute worst, but alas, I was wrong.

4. Costuming

Set in the 60s, the film has a great opportunity for “period piece” ensembles. Yet even this falls through with Breslin repeating outfits that I didn’t even want to see the first time. This is a dress she wore about 4 times in the movie. Next time, leave the dress in the corner, Baby.

5. The Plot Line

The story followed the plot for the first half of the movie, but then as time dragged on, the story began to change. Suddenly there were new, unnecessary plot lines that caused the film to last a staggering 3 hours to show me material that wasn’t even interesting. (Also, Breslin messes up the iconic "I carried a watermelon line" so you already know the plot was off from that point on)

6. Musical

They also turned the movie into a musical. Breslin and Prattes sang the ending song. That is all.

Hey ABC, next time, don’t try and fix something that ain’t broke.
