Twitter's savaging of the Dirty Dancing remake is (probably) better than the movie
There are some movies you just don't remake. Dirty Dancing is one of them.
Sadly ABC are learning this the hard way as their TV remake of Dirty Dancing got widely panned on Twitter after it aired last night.
The remake, which stars Abigail Breslin in the lead role, became the number one Twitter trend in the world last night when fans of the 1987 classic decided to indulge in hours of ridicule as the remake aired.
Here's the best of what Twitter thought of the remake.
Everyone on my timeline is asking why ABC didn't cast better dancers.

I'd like to state for the record that I feel personally offended and victimized by the Dirty Dancing remake #DirtyDancing
