‘Nightmare!’: Twitter went crazy over the Dirty Dancing remake last night

In an age of movie remakes, we often hear more duds that success stories.

And that was certainly the case for the remake of the 1987 classic, Dirty Dancing. Last night, (could we call it) the eagerly anticipated movie aired on ABC and as the tweets started rolling in, the reaction was clear. Yep, Twitter was left traumatised by the embarrassing remake and made no attempt to conceal their feelings.

The remake of 'Dirty Dancing' is the most traumatizing thing I have witnessed since Election Night '16. #DirtyDancing #LeaveClassicsAlone
