Not really for grown up
Because the plot is very silly child stuff. I think it is more of a family movie, you bring your kids to watch.
The only fun I had was due to Hugh Grant, he was funny as usual.
I completely agree. I love the original version because Gene Wilder performance added something subtle that was fun for adult to watch but my this one is just for babies. The over acting of the antagonists was unbearable, mustache twirling level of camp. Every time they had scenes I wanted to walk out. I cannot imagine myself ever watching this one again. I think toddlers would enjoy because they go for easy laughs in the humor but as an adult it was a hard watch, kept looking at my watch. On the plus side, I cannot fault Timothy Chamalet and the young girl who played along with him, they did their very best but to me it just felt like something you would find in the early morning on a TV channel for kids under 10.
