Behind The Lens

Debbie Lynn Elias

[T]his new 2003 version is nothing like the original but for the premise and the name.

Focuses on two boring old men trying to be tough guys while bonding in convoluted and downright stupid situations. A dud.

Fleming and co. were working from a version that had clicked very well in 1979, and such interest as posterity has in this new take will be in its usefulness as a masterclass in how not to remake a movie.

It's wonderful watching Michael Douglas and Albert Brooks having so much fun. It's also great to see a summer movie that doesn't rely on special effects.

What we are left with is a movie that carefully aims to be all-family entertainment, but you can't imagine any family member particularly wanting to watch it.
