Reviews
The international reviews of the remake were largely negative.
The German portal hitchecker.de evaluates the new Dirty Dancing as a “wooden musical soap”, with Nicole Scherzinger in the role of Penny as the only ray of hope.
On the occasion of the first broadcast of the film in Germany, TV Spielfilm judged the director to be “hip stiff” and “the dialogues so stupid that only those who are not ashamed of themselves get their money's worth.” The magazine gave it the title flop of the day and expressed its concern, “ Patrick Swayze would turn around in the grave ”.
