OK I liked the movie as I did the other earlier versions however, I loathe movies with a sad or unpopular ending as this one has. When I leave the show I want to be relatively happy I saw it. I was not happy with this one. Sorry! We all go to the movies expecting to be entertained and I definitely was entertained and got my money's worth. That doesn't mean I have to be satisfied with the way a certain movie begins or ends. Although I enjoyed the interaction on screen I have to admit I was a bit preoccupied with knowing Robin Williams was gone and had taken his own life. How depressing. I struggled to enjoy his acting presence on screen while dealing with how sad that this man was apparently terminally unhappy. I had the same melancholy feeling while watching the Wizard of Oz for the 10th time but this time knowing about the stagehand hanging in the background. Once you know it kind of changes things and how you feel. Again I am truly sorry but I simply hated the ending here.

Total disappointment here. This would be like having Angelina Jolie play Tina Turner in the movie about Tina And Ike. So what's next liberal Hollywood? the Sound of Music from the hood? There are movies that should be played by black actors and those that should be played by white actors. Sometimes those acting positions can be switched but definitely not in a classic like this. Certain movie classics like Miracle on 34th Street, the Wizard of Oz, A Streetcar Named Desire, To Kill a Mockingbird should be played by the people intended to play them or dare I say it, white people. Seems awfully dumb to reprise a classic simply to switch up the race of the cast in order to make money on it among a new group. Hollywood simply has no shame when it comes to making money and this is certainly no exception. Skip this one folks.

Look here is the skinny on this flick. It is so predictable I found myself saying out loud (but quietly) what was going to happen next. I mean really people can't these Hollywood money men find some better quality movies to get behind to finance. Let's not forget this movie as all the rest are a business. The business of INVESTING cash to produce a movie with the hopes you will spend your entertainment dollars seeing it so it makes them millions in profit. Don't let them make money on this one or we will never get them to stop producing trash and fooling us into thinking it's worth the price of a ticket and $15.00 popcorn. Plot plot plot help me find something entertaining about this movie that we don't know is going to happen before it happens. The acting is average and if an academy award ever makes it to this movie it will be because somebody paid somebody! Don't waste your money on this film you will be disappointed. Go see Denzel instead!!!! :-)
