Another dumb Hollywood rip-off.


Doesn't even compare to the British original's humour, passion and acting talent.

Hollywood fails to take over the world...........again.

Entitled to your opinion, let's agree to disagree. You must not have a sense of humor.

Yeah, I have a sense of humour, thanks.

I just don't laugh at retarded US rip=offs that are not funny. Mr sensitive.

hanks and the coens
that should be a perfect combination but this is very poor

they can do remakes
TRUE GRIT is easily one of the best remakes i have ever seen

it is a fine western but maintains their quirky quality too

the ladykillers is a brit classic

you can't make that funny in an american way

English drama can be transferred
state of play was adapted into a great thriller crowe /Mirren

but English comedy can not :(

I completely agree. Not even a glint of a patch on the original and I gave this a really open minded shot as well.

I don't get why America keeps trying to do their own versions of British films and TV shows. You don't see the British re-making Rebel Without A Cause or Jaws or Frasier so I don't get the method as they always turn out terrible.
