Where are the real stars?
4 May 2018
What this movie lacks are REAL STARS. Kurt and Goldie were major stars when the original was made and they had great chemistry, (besides being a real life couple who are the parents of Kate Hudson)., and it showed on-screen. You can imagine the fights and arguments in the movie were so real-like because they had them in real life! All I can say is this is formula PC drivel, with the same ethnic jokes, same cultural differences that we have seen in comedies on tv and movies for years. Nothing new and because the "stars" are so forgettable, this remake will probably not be getting played for the next 30 years like the original that has become a comedy classic. When millenials do remakes, it's usually predictable and not really funny. Kind of like the fish taco from the food truck that millennials think is so great, waited an hour in line to get, paid DOUBLE, and the rest of us know it's the same old fish taco, just repackaged and doubled in price. When will the new Hollywood learn, STARS make movies. Original IDEAS are better than rehashed ones. Maybe the CGI is better, but it doesn't carry the movie., STARS and great writing does.
