Us fellow bloggers and New Yorkers gotta stick together, right?<br /><br />It's true that Hurley can do good work - and I'm pretty sure it's not me finding her attractive that influences that opinion - but this is a cheap use of her talents. For a picture that's so weak and slight, I really have to ask what the studio/casting director were thinking. <br /><br />PS, "remake-itis" is my special term for the annoying Hollywood trend, but my auto-correct keeps changing it into three words.

Yeah, the remake thing is really just lazy film making. <br /><br />Hurley does have some decent comic timing but I agree that her casting was more due to her looks than talent-maybe someone even thought "Hey, she's British and it was a British movie in the first place,so..." A cheap way to class up a cheap remake,in my opinion.lady thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287907577241697874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13994370.post-12566858817648628962013-09-02T12:54:02.753-04:002013-09-02T12:54:02.753-04:00Nicely done!

Considering that it's so light and flimsy, it's a wonder that they went with this story for Brendan Frasier. It's almost as if studios were so impressed by The Mummy's box office, they decided to test him out in a comedy for the middle-teen-to-dumb-adult segment.<br /><br />Or that they could do decent box office on Liz Hurley's looks alone.<br /><br />I really want the people responsible for all this remake-it is to be stopped. I don't even get worked up about "ruining" the original efforts, just that it's cheap marketing that seldom has much artistic merit.Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.com
