Remakes usually suck. Rarely are they even CLOSE to being on the same level with the original. They tend to try to "top" their predecessor and therefore be known as "The Best One". Didn't happen this time. Didn't even come close. With all the publicity about this "great" cast I thought I was really in for a treat.

His first stop is Bernie Mac who never got to use his comedic genius in a small role. Brad Pitt was the standout character with slick and witty lines.
