The film closely follows the plot of the original film ; the following are notable changes : Baby plans to study medicine, rather than economics. The role of Marjorie Houseman is significantly expanded. Feeling alienated by Jake 's lack of attention and affection, despite her active efforts to engage him, Marjorie contacts a divorce lawyer and suggests she and Jake live apart. As Kellerman 's is where Marjorie and Jake met and fell in love, Jake romances Marjorie and they have sex, reconciling. The role of Vivian Pressman is also expanded ; now a divorcee who visits Kellerman 's alone, she tells Marjorie of her intense loneliness at night. When Johnny is accused of theft, the stolen property is no longer Vivian 's husband 's wallet, but instead her ex-husband's watch, which Johnny earlier rejected as a gift and which Vivian apparently planted among his belongings. Lisa rejects Robbie much earlier in the film. She befriends a new character, Marco, the resort 's African - American pianist. Over his boss Tito 's objections, Marco teaches Lisa to play the ukulele and performs with her in the talent show. Tito and Max acknowledge that the world is changing for the better. A frame story is added. In 1975, Frances attends `` Dirty Dancing, '' a Broadway show choreographed by Johnny and inspired by a book Frances wrote. Frances ' faith in Johnny gave him the confidence to pursue a career. Frances is married and has a daughter. Frances takes a weekly dance lesson ; she and Johnny encourage each other to continue dancing.

Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of 22 % `` Rotten '' based on 17 reviews. On Metacritic, the film was given a score of 39 out of 100 based on 15 critics, indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews ''. Kimberly Roots of TVLine gave Dirty Dancing a D, stating : `` By adding unnecessary elements and turning Dirty Dancing into a musical, ABC proves that it would n't know what made the original film special if it hit them in the pachanga. '' Mae Abdulbaki of theyoungfolks.com gave Dirty Dancing a 3 ( out of 10 ), stating `` Remaking one of the most popular and beloved movies in the history of cinema feels almost disrespectful on many levels. Going into the TV movie remake of Dirty Dancing with a clear and open mind, I figured that if at least the dancing was good, then there was something to enjoy. However, the updated version does n't even meet the lowest of expectations and blows past mediocre to land at downright terrible. The film is slow and dull, the lead actors have absolutely no chemistry, and the musical aspect does n't add anything to the film. '' Sonia Saraiya of Variety stated in her negative review : `` An ill - conceived remake of the 1987 film retains none of the passion, skill, or fun of the original. '' Viewership Dirty Dancing averaged a 1.3 rating in adults 18 - 49 and 6.6 million viewers, airing from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. The remake gave ABC its most - watched Wednesday in nearly seven months.
