i do not know why people should watch this film when it even doesn not take it cue from the original . the original film work because it have all the ingredient to make it great represent class and sas and and a whole lot of . well you get the idea . but the point stand . i be not sure either the director and writer and etc etc realize what be at hand when they make this and but they clearly kick themselves in the butt for this one . queen latifah have prove herself to be a fairly good actress and but one have to wonder why she be cast in this . instead of give her character witty and smart dialog and it replace with potentially insult racial epithet . so this be their idea of hip and coolness . i digress . i think the fact that hollywood idea of what it think the audience want to see and clearly undermine the bottom line of the moviegoer intelligence . and that speak volume about what pass for entertainment these day .
