i must preface this comment with a sort of admission represent i suppose i just have a soft spot for the original 60 70 tv series . i think the filmmaker here blow it from the get go as far a cast represent in a supposed remake and audience would look for reflection of the hip and athletic linc ( clarence williams iii ) and or the cool and with it michael cole and and so forth . instead and we get giovanni ribisi a a poor little white rich boy who come off a just pathetic and like he be in all his role ( in the office i use to work in and i amuse myself once by create a fake movie poster and cast various actor a member of the office staff while guess who i cast a the dorky son of the company president . ) . dane do ok a the new julie and but none of the character have much to do and a the story just sort of sits there and mire in conventionality . so it quite forgettable and besides . what be i talk about .
