Is anyone watching this on channel 5?
It's bloody awful and it's only 10 minutes in

I am. So far I prefer Keith Lemon and Paddy's version. Grin

Will give it benefit of the doubt though.

MrsJamin · 11/06/2017 18:49

There was a big thread recently about this, as someone posted a clip. It looked awful, not sure I could bring myself to watch it!

MaccaPaccaismyNemesis · 11/06/2017 18:50

Just tuned in, it's pretty dreadful so far!

madamginger · 11/06/2017 18:57

I've turned it off, it's shit and life is too short!

It's amazingly shit, but like spotting a car crash on the M1, I simply can't look away.

Who's playing Johnny? He's terrible. And then there's Grace giving Baby's mother a new dimension by playing her as middle aged sex starved 40-something and Nicole Scherzinger playing Penny. Who knew she could act? (answer: No one, because she can't).

Why oh why do they have to remake these classic films? It can't be for the money as this one must be in negative figures.

RainbowPastel · 11/06/2017 19:11

It's not too bad. Johnny has no sex appeal though unlike Patrick Swayze who oozed it

TheHiphopopotamus · 11/06/2017 19:13

I came into this a bit late, have they done the 'I carried a watermelon' scene? There doesn't seem to be a Billy character in it either.

OhFuds · 11/06/2017 19:14

It's dire! How the hell did they get the part of Baby and Johnny, absolutely no chemistry.

RainbowPastel · 11/06/2017 19:16

Yes there is a Billy and she did the watermelon scene.

RudeDog · 11/06/2017 19:17

I had a row with DH in America on holiday as I refused to watch it

Some things are sacred......that includes Dirty Dancing.

MrTumblesbitch · 11/06/2017 19:18

it's like watching a school performance of it. It's so false! Also agree, just no sex appeal from any of them. I've turned it off now!

LoadsaBlusher · 11/06/2017 19:19

I'm shocked at how bad this is so far

paddypants13 · 11/06/2017 19:19

I watched the water melon scene and the dancing was terrible. No sexual tension at all.

LoadsaBlusher · 11/06/2017 19:20

They look so grumpy and awkward

BeepBeepMOVE · 11/06/2017 19:22

Is it really awful that I like him a lot more sans shirt?

Silverstar2 · 11/06/2017 19:28

They murdered Hungry Eyes.

It's bad but I can't switch off.............

wibblywobblyfish · 11/06/2017 19:30

It's shite. Some things should be left alone!

DumbledoresArmy · 11/06/2017 19:32

Just turned this on plus1.

They'd been better doing a modern remake

DumbledoresArmy · 11/06/2017 19:34

Jonny has no sex appeal
At all

TisGlorious · 11/06/2017 19:39

Oh dear! I'm watching....it's so awful. I just can't see where Johnny and baby cross over into a relationship. I can't see 'baby' ever learning those dance moves, she's got more chance of being in a relationship with Scherzi get than Jonny. It's altogether bad. Baby's older sister looks like her baby sister, it's all so weird!

ijustwannadance · 11/06/2017 19:47

Hate crap continuity errors. She had a green dress with a sweetheart neckline which at the dance turned into a turquoise dress with a straight neckline.

randomuntrainedcuntowner · 11/06/2017 19:52

The least sexy thing I have ever seen = this scene

TisGlorious · 11/06/2017 19:53

The lead characters are completely mismatched.

TheSleeperandTheSpindle · 11/06/2017 19:53

It's so bad but I can't take my eyes off it! No chemistry at all between Johnny and Baby. I need to watch until the end though, I have to see what they do to the final dancing scene!

TisGlorious · 11/06/2017 19:54

What's with the granny bra? Is this supposed to be evidence of her purity?
