Which proves that even though hollywood is out of new ideas, the public is still eager to devour rehashes of old ideas.
I love movies, but boy the last few years have really been weak...gotta love NetFlix...I have been able to rent movies that I missed originally and they have a great foreign film selection...only movie I plan to see this summmer is 'Star Wars I' and I will wait until the lines and kids and crowds die down...guess I am getting old...
I think it also shows that in the demographic that goes to movies a lot, Adam Sandler is extremely popular. I hang out on some other forums dominated by teens/young adults (no not those kinds of forums) and Sandler is considered a comic genius by many.
But the new one does have Sandler, Chris Rock, Goldberg, and Nelly so that is probably enough to win the weekend...
Hollywood has spiraled so far down the morals chain that they no longer have any perspective whatsoever of what Middle America looks for in a movie.
Their own views of right, wrong, fair, worthy of interest have become so corrupted they cannot even create a storyline that we would pay to see.
IMO that is why they are going back to the old scripts and remaking them.
They are in a fix because a drug induced mind that delves into porn, and every perversion known to man can no longer create a plot that mid-America has any interest in.
Pure justice.
I was just saying today - that we might need to record the old Gunsmoke series for our grandkids viewing one day. Great stories that relay the salt of the earth values of right and wrong. They could do a lot worse than Matt Dillon, Doc and Festus.
