I don’t mind remakes or updates or whatever on principle. But I do mind when they totally bland something down for the clean PC audience.

That said, I am hoping this is decent. I enjoyed the Brit remake (Mean Machine starring Vinnie Jones from Snatch) immensly.

And if it does suck, I’ll just go home and pop in the real deal to get the memory outa my head.

I saw it last weekend, and I thought it was hilarious. I loved it when Sandler got the ref twice in the crotch.

There is nothing wrong with making a remake as long as enough time has passed, and it’s not a cookie cutter remake like Gus Van Sant’s Psycho.

I saw the movie this weekend and I loved it. I am always curious when I hear they are doing a remake of an old film, but this was done well. My kids enjoyed it too, but I think Xpinionated you are right (and don’t say of course), they loved it because they knew the people in the movie.

X,
I do this all the time to my kids.
I say…Oh, this is just a remake of the one way back when.
Sometimes the remake is good…very good, but I am a fan of old movies.
They rarely will watch one with me, and then kicking and complaining. Their loss!!! lol
