This will probably be about as successful as the remake of The Honeymooners, which budgeted $25 Million for production costs and earned about half that at $13 million.

If Hollywood had not rewritten copyright law to perpetually extend copyrights (nothing goes into the public domain anymore, Big Media owns Congress), they would've gone bankrupt long ago from bad decisions on current product.

They have billions of dollars worth of old favorites that keep them solvent.

America can no longer understand or relate to the old morality or ideals. This kind of humor comes from a time when America was still innocent and naive. The things they viewed as hilarious then are completely misunderstood today.

Slapstick comedy like this will fall flat on it's face, and Penn is completely unfunny. Too many people see him as himself.

Jim Carey as Curly, will work about as well has having Alec Baldwin play Harpo Marx.
