The first one was very crude with unlikeable characters so I have been reluctant to see this remake.
I found it to be hilarious, but then I like the more slapstick and goofy films. I went with a group of girlfriends, and we all liked the movie. There is one scene when he and his wife are costumed when they rob a bank that is ROFL funny, IMO!
I know I saw the original but I don't remember too much about it.
