Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

djfrost-46786 This movie in the theaters was a 3.8. Felt like why would you tempt to remake a classic??. Then when it came out on DVD it jumped to 5.4. The trailer look ok, so I was like I'll give it a shot. It was like a Hallmark movie from the Hallmark channel. Maybe it's for the ladies. It was ok to not good. It had its moments were it was cute.

danybobs I don't see why there's so many bad reviews, yes it's a remake and doesn't come close to the original (nor does most movies) can't beat 80's. They have put a little spin as it's now the guy what's the snobby one, but if you go into the film for just a casual watch, and not with big high expectations it's ok.

emmajanusz I must admit I was a bit apprehensive after reading some of the reviews here, but now having seen this and the original, I realise when rereading the reviews here that many of them come off as "anti-liberalist" and racist, by which I mean they have no more complaint about the movie than how "PC" it is and how many "mexicans" there are. So if that sounds like something you'd say, this might not be the film for you.However, if the (relative) lack of female objectification and sexual harrassment sounds like something you'd enjoy, this film might be for you! The film feels much less like a film having a laugh at torturing a (rich) woman by making her do woman things she doesn't know how to do, and instead like having a laugh at rich people who don't know how to do ordinary things. The film is a lot less questionable in terms of its content than the original, and honestly, feels more wholesome and family oriented. I can genuinely believe that the main guy learns to love these kids and become a part of their family, and that they love him for that. (I don't buy it so much in the original). The characters all feel real and their goals and desires tangible. The film works best (in my opinion) as a romance-based film, not so much a comedy though. In particular, one of the last few scenes ruined the ending a little as it tried to make a joke that for me fell totally flat *and* ruined some of the romance element.In short, I honestly can't see why people prefer the original over this, this film has so much more heart and love inside it.

Nina Y I don't understand why people always compare the older one to the new one and keep pretending the the Original was better. This movie is hilarious, romantic and a tear jerker. If you really love to watch movies then you shouldnt compare otherwise enjoy and have a good laugh instead of judging and comparing.
