    whoa, dude idk if you qualify for your "far from racist" card anymore. i do completely agree though that the original is classic English comedy at its best, so y turn it into a crappy black movie essentially. its gunna be recycled jokes from Welcome Home Rosco Jenkins, First Sunday and Soul Plane.

    in two weeks i bet they announce Mo'nique or however u spell her name as part of the cast.

    Well I respect your opinion. I happen to like Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence. Tracy Morgan is sh*t. I'm calling a prediction, this film will get 2 out of 5 stars. I'll probably see it when it hits DVD.

    Both of these guys suck sh*t. Martin should stick to running the streets of L.A. naked waiving a pistol (high on sherm). And Tracy Morgan should f*cking find a tall tree and a short rope.

    u saying it "sounds good" is funny cuz it is the exact opposite, it sound completely horrible. and i assume that no one was dumb enough to actually think that this atrocious remake sounds anywhere near good, so i considered ur comment a joke.

    either way i was kiddin in sayin that it was funny.

    These morons will totally ruin the film. But the first one came out like... 2 or 3 years ago. Why don't they wait a little longer to do a remake? I guess they've got nothing better to do.

    Do they think an American audience wouldn't find the British version funny so they have to remake it? That's ridiculous.
