There are certainly some great performers in the cast, I won't deny that, but this remake just failed to connect on more levels than I can list. They tried to throw in some of the iconic lines, but this cast never landed them. (I hoped they could at least hit on the "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" line, but even that was forced and fell flat.) I loved the original--and I'll be the first to admit, I did not think they should remake this film, but out of respect for the original cast and the story, I really did try to like it....which makes it even more disappointing. Now I'm running to grab my copy of the original to try to get the memory of what I just watched out of my head!
If anyone in Hollywood cares, PLEASE--stop ruining the classic films by trying to cash in on them again! What's next? Remaking Gone With the Wind with Kim Kardashian as Scarlett? You really can't re-capture their magic, regardless who you cast or how flashy you make it.
