i have never see the original movie others have comment on and so my perspective be just about this movie without comparison . i find the message of the movie to be and represent if you only worry about yourself and all will be right with the world and everything will fall into place and your lover will love you more and your friend will respect and like you more and your employer will want you more and pay you more and even your own child and parent will love you more . i find this message to be reprehensible and totally false . kudos for the very funny birth scene at the end while there isn not a mother out there who would not laugh during that scene . overall a very disappointing movie plot . i do not find myself root for anyone in this movie . i think they be all pathetic self absorb individual that i just do not care what happen to them and that not a movie people want to see .
