Usually the film remakes of 'classic' TV shows are nowhere near the standard of the TV version.
Now I have to be honest and say that I haven't seen this movie. The reason is simple - the TV show was the most stupid, mind-numbingly ridiculous pile of trash that has ever disgraced a TV screen. That being so, the rule I mentioned above means that film version will be even more execrable. To think that the BBC dropped 'The Rockford Files' to show this drivel still, after 25 years, amazes me. The only good thing about the TV series was Catherine Bach.
Perhaps the funniest thing about this big screen version was a comment by one of the actors from the TV version. He thought the movie spoiled a 'classic' TV show ! Fatuous would be a more apt description.
