Breslin does a credible job with the role of Baby. ... The film tries to make a star out of him [Colt Prattes], and if that doesn’t quite happen, it nevertheless succeeds at showing the hidden talents of some of the medium’s most durable stars.
ABC's earnest, anodyne remake has managed to surgically extract the magic--leaving the story and signature lines intact while suctioning out all the subtlety, charm and lead chemistry that defined the iconic 1987 original. [26 May 2017, p.55]

Overall, the new version of Dirty Dancing never finds its footing.
To say they (Abigail Breslin and Colt Prattes) have no onscreen chemistry is to minimize the problem: You actively want to get Baby away from him.
It is neither good nor deliciously bad. It is a banal three-hour timesuck that manages to feel both rushed and drawn-out.
This isn't so much dirty as drippy. [15-28 May 2017, p.17]
The framing device the ABC version uses to bring us into and out of the story is so clunky, it’s not worth discussing. ... The whole endeavor feels like the Disney ride version of Dirty Dancing: cleaner, prettier and way frothier than the already frothy real thing.
