This was an awful remake! AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!! They should never have even tried to remake it. The classic original was enough for us to enjoy for a lifetime. I agree with the prior reviews that the dancing in here was very awkward and no where near as hot and spicy as the dancing in the original. I do like Abigail Breslin, but not as Baby Houseman. She does not have the moves at all and appears very awkward when she dances. I think they are trying to be all politically correct by not casting a skinny girl for the part this time, but the part at least needs someone who it not awkward and can dance with heat and spice. As for the ending in the last few minutes when it suddenly jumps to the future and we see that Johnny and Baby do not get together after all, WHY WHY WHY did they have to do this. It's a major slap in the face to all of us audience members who sat through the whole three hours of their awkward remake just to see that ending! HIGHLY DISAPPOINTING!!!
