Twitterverse Has Mostly Negative Thoughts About Dirty Dancing Remake 

aired Wednesday evening — and Twitter users candidly shared their opinions about the musical production.

Thirty years after the 1987 film favorite released, ABC gave it new life with its three-hour TV special, starring Abigail Breslin (Baby Houseman), Colt Prattes (Johnny Castle), Sarah Hyland (Lisa Houseman), Debra Messing (Marjorie Houseman), Nicole Scherzinger (Penny Rivera), Katey Sagal (Vivian Pressman) and Bruce Greenwood (Dr. Jake Houseman).

“This isn’t a replica of the original. This takes some liberties. It has the DNA of the original, but you are going to find out what happened to Baby and Johnny after that summer ended. So there’s some additional surprises in there that are new,” Messing previously told PEOPLE about the project.

But what did audiences think about the 2017 remake, which originally starred Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze in the classic?

It's "I carried A watermelon!" NOT "I carried HIS watermelon" ugh 🤦🏻‍♀️ That line is legendary, you can't change it!!! #DirtyDancing pic.twitter.com/i8gcrgfJfw

#DirtyDancing This train wreck is the biggest disrespect to Patrick Swayze. It's horrible, I'd rather get a root canal. pic.twitter.com/9h2oz0kdhD

Please for the love of God, someone put baby in the corner and end this. #DirtyDancing

After 30 minutes of this remake I HAD to start watching the original!! #MyEyesAreBleeding #DirtyDancing PS. it's "I carried A watermelon"🍉🖕🏼 pic.twitter.com/6hdhyiWORo

This movie is like Sharknado, it's so damn bad, yet I can't bring myself to turn the channel. #DirtyDancing

Wow, If you are not watching the remake of #DirtyDancing, you made a good life choice.

there's like 12 good things about this remake and they are all colt prattes abs #DirtyDancing

This #DirtyDancing remake is like if an 8th grade musical had a multi-million dollar budget

Patrick Swayze is rolling over in his grave. #DirtyDancing

This remake has killed my soul 😐#dirtydancing pic.twitter.com/Fpb0PnRO87

#DirtyDancing Please Stop the Madness! This is terrible! pic.twitter.com/WWRDjL3VDW

Netflix and Amazon Prime must be getting bombarded with searches for the original #DirtyDancing to cleanse everyone's soul of this disaster

anyone else feel personally victimized by #DirtyDancing ? pic.twitter.com/NQR7PQT97S

#DirtyDancing STOP. MAKING. THIS. A. MUSICAL. STOP. ADDING. EXTRA. SCENES. STOP. MAKING. THIS. A. DOCUMENTARY. ON. SOCIAL. ISSUES.

As far as I'm concerned, they can put this Baby in a corner and leave her there #DirtyDancing

@ABC you could have remade Gone With The Wind using the cast from Big Bang Theory and it would have been better than this mess #DirtyDancing

They should put Baby back in the corner. #dirtydancing pic.twitter.com/Szj4PLDgcE

And just like that, #DirtyDancing Havana Nights doesn't seem so bad. pic.twitter.com/GHgpCBPOkl

#DirtyDancing remake is like a bad car accident! You want to look away but you can't help watching! Awful!

Please put baby in the corner. Turn off the lights. Close the door. And never look back. #DirtyDancing

Next they should do a remake of Ghost where Patrick Swayze's spirit actually haunts the people that produced this awful #DirtyDancing remake

But there were others who remained optimistic and open-minded about it.

Watching #DirtyDancing with my mom trying to resist jumping up and dancing to the songs 😂

Everybody hating on the new #DirtyDancing and I'm over here like… show me more @KateySagal & @DebraMessing! #PiratesLifeEvent

My goodness – so many #hatersgonnahate on #dirtydancing! No it's not the original but they're actors doing their best.

People are too close minded about this remake! #DirtyDancing

Debra Messing, Sarah Hyland, + Nicole Scherzinger are doing their best to carry this thing. #DirtyDancing

I at least like how sassy she is as Baby #DirtyDancingLive #DirtyDancing

When I grow up, I want to be @NicoleScherzy #dirtydancing #kthx

If I can say one positive thing, I adore @NicoleScherzy as Penny. Obvi not as much as the original,but I can deal with her. 👏 #DirtyDancing

Okayyyy Baby's dad is pretty darn good #dirtyDancing

Don't care abt reviews. When Baby was yelling at Johnny through the door & he burst through & kissed her, my heart went swoop. #dirtydancing
