Seriously one of my favorite movies. I don't like Abigail Breslin as Baby at all. She doesn't have the short, sassy hair and she doesn't fit the character. I don't think I can watch this new one.Sparkles and Latteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963473872202413760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-34097222421154611722017-05-10T11:51:28.516-04:002017-05-10T11:51:28.516-04:00I guess I just feel like nothing is original in Ho...I guess I just feel like nothing is original in Hollywood anymore. I don't think most movies should be remade, and can only think of a handful I really liked as a remake. Sabrina, The Italian Job, The Parent Trap...those are three that come to mind but mostly-no.

I have no doubt the actors are fine, but there was a special kismet between Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze. Plus, the guy playing Johnny looks so much older than Baby. Like Dad old, which skeeves me out.

(Especially before the new one comes out.) I love Abigail Breslin because there aren't enough round-faced girls in Hollywood and she's got one (like me!).

I'm not a huge fan of watching things ON tv. So we shall see. I'm going to have to google these people, that guy doesn't look so dreamy. But who knows. When I was a kid, everyone told me I looked like Baby, which I found so offensive. LOL I am a sucker for dance movies too!

I read the book but the movie was far better than the book on this one. Second - also didn't know they're redoing Dirty Dancing. I don't know if I'll watch it since I'm with you that Jennifer Grey will always be Baby and Patrick Swayze will always be Johnny -- no replacements. I guess I'm looking forward to some NEW ideas in the movie world ...
