Saw this a while ago... don't remember much. It's that stupid. I seem to have survived the fright scenes, no residual ptsd! I also recall the grandfather being the worst actor among the amateur cast.

I started skipping scenes during the excruciating, boring grandfather's monologue and gave up in under 3 minutes. The period was not researched, the acting was abysmal and the story, well I didn't get passed the fact there was going to be a prom... it was too boring and bad to continue.

Home projects should only be shown at the home of the makers.

It works best in that time period and Maclain is her most glamorous given the height of that era. There was no need to remake this underrated classic.

This offering actually mocks the brilliant script it steals from, uses freak plastic faced actors, and turns a sophisticated plot into a tacky mess, so juvenile one feels like puking the second Alan Rickman appears naked enough on screen. The original character was very proper, not a clown for super cheap childish giggles.

The beauty from "The Mask" 's face has melted, so some of the scenes may make you wince, which may spoil your ability to suspend disbelief!

The Coens' first huge flop... oh well... that sort of remote hick theme doesn't work every time, and is becoming as repetitive as the line "you just don't don't get it, do ya????

Charade and How to Steal a Million, are a gazillion times better too, if you appreciate the genre!
