why . because for one reason and there have never be a more adorable scene in any film than ann margret sing bye bye birdie at the opening . she reprise it again at the end and too ( in a different mood . ) . both wonderful . rent it and see . even if that all of it that you watch . you will agree and i be sure . everything about the original be so excellent it just do not need a remake and sorry . jason and vanessa give commendable performance and as well a tyne and chynna . in fact and all the actor and singer in this new version be give their all and but it like try to improve on casablanca it just can not be do . it even annoy find yourself compare the two mentally a you try to appreciate the remake and and it just fall short and through no fault of the actor .
