i saw this for cheap at a used dvd store and pick it up and because i love the original harvey and harry anderson certainly look like he would make a great elwood p. dowd . but when i start to watch this and get about halfway through and i realize that it have absolutely none of the charm or humor of the original and and that it wasn not get any good a it go along and so i stop it . anderson be ok a dowd and but this be a flat production with absolutely no soul to it . the story be kind of the same and but there be difference from the original that make no difference whatsoever and and no member of the cast particularly stand out . this can not hold a candle to the original and it go right back to the store i buy it from to be trade yet again . negative and you can not mess with a classic .
