"By the end you're asking yourself if they went to any trouble at all or simply took a film camera to a performance of the musical itself"

"Static camera work alienates the audience."

"I really can't believe that Nathan, Matthew, or Uma chose to be involved in this film. Bad career decision especially for Uma."

Oh well, won't be the worst movie I ever see in my life...

Bummer! And with the original so awesome!
If you haven't, please rent the original film with Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel. It is classic Mel Brooks and a fabulous film.....DH and I laughed our butts off.
Jules said the same thing about the original. I'll need to add it to the Netflix queue.
Note to self: don't go see it.
You haven't seen the actual musical have you? I haven't, but my hubby (who's NOT AT ALL interested in musicals/theater) wants to.
I may have to check out the original, though!
I haven't seen the new movie but did love the original so I'm curious...
Thanks for the heads up. I really had no intentions on seeing it and now I think I'll just pretend that it doesn't exist.
Bello loves Will Ferrel. Honestly, the guy irritates me.
Just to update: We put the 1968 version at the top of our Netflix queue. Woohoo!
