Turned original into a fall from grace story.
Ren goes to Smallville, USA and becomes instantly accepted by everyone? Not only that but all the whites and blacks just hang together and congregate peacefully? Sounds like a utopia. Also sounds like whatever laws they have in place in that town are working pretty well. To me, this isn't a story about teens coming of age and finding their place (like the original), it's a story about a fall from grace.
Music remake? Stupid
Bus race? Whole scene stupid.
Willard? No where near as good as Chris Penn
The reasons go on and on. This film is nowhere NEAR the original.
