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

I'm cringing so hard I've nearly turned myself inside out.

The girl who's playing Baby isn't a natural dancer is she?

squoosh · 11/06/2017 20:51

Squoosh, no she's 26! She's one of the daughters in Modern Family.

Bloody hell, she looks about 14!

My eyes! My eyes!!!!!!

MarvinKMooney · 11/06/2017 20:52

Bloody hell. That is all.

I'm crying. The mum and dad singing to each other.

ifcatscouldtalk · 11/06/2017 20:53

What the hells happening now?

TheHiphopopotamus · 11/06/2017 20:55

What the hell was that ending?!!

FlourishandBlotts · 11/06/2017 20:55

I don't know how I've sat and watched that from beginning to end.

chocoshopoholic · 11/06/2017 20:55

Who is the kid?

TisGlorious · 11/06/2017 20:56

What an odd ending. So instead of it ending on a high, love co queers all etc they decided to kill it with Jonny and baby end up going their separate ways.

TheSleeperandTheSpindle · 11/06/2017 20:56

I was so confused at the ending.....was it supposed to be a comedy?! Grin

squoosh · 11/06/2017 20:56

What the hell happened to Abigail Breslin? She was such a wonderful child actor - what a bloody shame.

She's too good for this nonsense but I suppose you're offered fewer roles when you're not super beautiful and super willowy.

Silverstar2 · 11/06/2017 20:58

And they missed out her wonderful heartfelt speech when she says about being scared of things - but mainly of "walking out of this room and never feeling my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you" then jumps him. God I love that speech, and they just left it out. Criminal.

He had no sex appeal and she just looked lumpy and uncomfortable. Sorry.

crazypenguinlady · 11/06/2017 20:59

What. The. Fuck!?

MrsJamin pretty much sums it up.

What a steaming pile of shit. Bloody hell. 😂

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 11/06/2017 21:00

I was watching 15 minutes behind - they would barely scrape a 4 from Craig on Strictly for that. Ed Balls is a more convincing dancer.

SexandDrugsandaNiceCuppa · 11/06/2017 21:02

Squoosh, yes it's rather sad isn't it, because she dares to be a bit larger than average she's automatically relegated to 'plain girl who blossoms' or 'chubby friend'.

Underthemoonlight · 11/06/2017 21:03

They couldn't even do the last dance properly like the original 😳

crazypenguinlady · 11/06/2017 21:03

Seriously, no offense to the guy, but they could not have picked a worse person to play Jonny Castle.

And the fresh hell was up with the ending? Confused Hmm

TisGlorious · 11/06/2017 21:04

I hope this doesn't kill Abigail Breslin's career. She should never have been cast in this role.

OhFuds · 11/06/2017 21:04

I gave up on it but after reading this thread I've switched to CH5+1 just to see the ending.

Silverstar2 · 11/06/2017 21:05

Oh I switched off just as the mum and dad started singing, what happened after that?

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 11/06/2017 21:11

Argh!! Found you all!!! I knew there'd be a thread if I looked hard enough Grin
I have agreed, out loud, with so many comments in this thread.
From the first 30 seconds I knew it was going to be awful but couldn't switch it off. Ds appeared 5 minutes before the end and wanted to put something else on but I made him waittu til the very end.
I just cannot believe how utterly dire that was - and I say that as someone who has watched a lot of shite films!!!!!!!

Starsandwishes · 11/06/2017 21:13

I'm on 5+ 1 as well...and agree total load of shit... but I keep watching Hmm

PontypandyPioneer · 11/06/2017 21:23

Oh my eyes! That was awful. Painful. The dancing was shocking, acting just as bad. Johnny and Baby were just wrong!

I am going to watch the original now to get that thing out of my head!

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 11/06/2017 21:30

It was like some weirdy spoof!
I kept expecting to see Dawn French appear and it be an French and Saunders sketch!!
