they just can’t leave well enough alone
can they yes why are you serving bad
fish welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 worst comedy movie remakes
afflicts over 2 million people yet most
of us have never heard of it and it
strikes without regard age gender or
race only hear about this shit for this
list we’re looking at those remakes of
classic comedy movies or movies with
comedic elements that we’re considered
unnecessary and terrible from a critical
or commercial standpoint what do you
call a hundred black men buried in the
ground up to their neck what afro turf
number 10 fame you’ve got talent let’s
see what we can do with it both versions
of Fame tell the same story a group of
young adults experiences life as
students of the Performing Arts in New
York the problem is that they tell the
story very differently I don’t have a
personality of my own
so what I’m an actress I can put on as
many personalities as I want the 1980
original was filled with flawed
interesting personalities who actually
acted like human beings
the remake on the other hand was filled
with hollow characters that were watered
down for the tween audience I’m talented
somebody’s got to make it out there why
can’t it be me and who in the world told
you you were so special
who did the result was less a realistic
portrayal of young adulthood and more
closely resembling the later seasons of
Glee this remake ain’t gonna live
forever
number nine The Ladykillers madam we
must have waffles we must all have
waffles fourth with Tom Hanks JK Simmons
the Coen brothers what could possibly go
wrong well a lot apparently well now
that that matter is settled
why don’t we synchronize our watches
before the lane reports to work a remake
of the 1955 original starring the likes
of Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers this
film follows a group of robbers posing
as classical musicians while they rent
rooms from an old lady this looks
promising thank you
what could have been an interesting
premise turned into an unsettled broad
comedy in the remake whereas the
original had a sense of darkness and
intrigue doesn’t feel bad about there
would you mind fetching it please go on
for the major has a trained eye catch
Tom Hanks admittedly gives it as all but
the annoying comedy and pointless
characters turn this remake into a farce
that garnered mixed reviews upon release
James Keeley number 8 guess who good
young man takes to the car shopping
come on Spencer Tracy and Sydney Poitier
turn into Bernie Mac and Ashton Kutcher
oh I suppose it would be all right if I
said my goodness the original film 1967
notable guess who’s coming to dinner
Sawadee a as an african-american men
meeting his future white in-laws the
remake on the other hand reverses the
races with Kutcher meeting his
african-american girlfriend spokes I
don’t want to hear you talking about
sleep when my daughter you’re sleeping
with me now
a good night but the reversal isn’t the
problem Kutcher and Mac make a boring
pair and the writing is so bland that
any hints of cultural observations or
thematic importance are instantly
flushed away if you beat me
I’ll loan you the money really your
money instead we’re treated to tired
racial jokes we’ve heard a million times
and an ending that everyone saw coming
from a mile away
look I know I didn’t give you a fair
shake but I was wrong my daughter should
be lucky to happen number seven the
women Molly how many times did I told
you no dogs on the bed
going back to 1939 the women starred
Norma Shearer and Joan Crawford among
others as two in a group of
interconnected women who are dealing
with romance well heaven be praised I’m
on to miles but I wouldn’t trust him on
Alcatraz though else a remake was
released almost 70 years later featuring
a who’s who of Hollywood’s female
royalty
however amid all the stars the story
loses almost all of its impact and
becomes just another lousy remake stop
telling that story oh sure sure cuz I
never mentioned it again I promise I
promise
with such a powerful cast behind it the
women should have been a major hit or at
least a critical darling but instead it
misses the point of the original
entirely and becomes a boring preachy
lesson in feminism rather than a funny
yet daring story like the original it
feels like someone kicked you in the
stomach feels like your heart stopped
beating number six the Stepford Wives
she’s drunk she’s blonde part comedy
part thriller The Stepford Wives tells
the story of the questionable all to
perfect women of Stepford Connecticut
she can look at the food about
photographing it for a Save the Children
posted while the 1975 original tilted
more towards the horrific aspects of the
story in an effort to criticize domestic
perfection the remake removes all the
tension and intrigue devolving into a
flat comedy that doesn’t resonate with
the audience I love your books it’s
gotta be the last one what was it called
it was about your relationship with your
mother I love you but please die while
the acting is good and the film looks
great visually the 2004 movie becomes
just what the original was critiquing
something with a pretty exterior with
no substance to baccarat well it is
probably the most important book any of
us will ever read number five swept away
where’s God when you made him a remake
of a smarter and more ambitious 1974
Italian film of the same name Guy
Ritchie swept away follows a capitalist
woman and a communist man who are
stranded on an island together what are
you doing
sorry the story allows for a wealth of
possible directions and thematic
observations until you hear that Madonna
the director’s wife is the leading lady
why you have a gun on your ship peepee
it’s a flare gun a flare gun huh hiding
anything else you want to tell me about
with her in the role the character
becomes something simply to look at
rather than a complex nuanced individual
without any depth to its characters the
movie was a box-office bomb that was
awarded a total of five Razzies the
adventure is just starting for you my
friend
just wait till my lawyer picks your
captain it’s possible that with a
different actress swept away could have
succeeded but we doubt it
I’m not interested number four the Pink
Panther good one thank you originating
in 1963 is the Pink Panther Peter
Sellers French inspector Jacques
Clouseau is one of comedies greatest
creations appears called inspector
Jacques Clouseau to the stand me a
defense witness he’s bumbling and
annoying but all in fun and innocent
ways at the attempts to foil a jewel
thief have some coffee inspector
you know you two could save yourself a
lot of trouble if you would tell me with
the Julie’s for the 2006 remake the
beloved Steve Martin dons the signature
trench and hat and the results are less
than extraordinary you continue to
surprise me inspector get used to it
come talk with me surprises are really
unexpected while Martin at least tries
the movie is filled with family-friendly
slapstick that even kids would find
uninspired and most of the lazy humour
derives from a fake French accent
inspector Juno the killer was a man or
women we live cos I know Zee what has
his dad the key dude the film was
nominated for two Razzies including one
for worst remake or ripoff in that case
did this movie really call for a sequel
no not really
number three taxi hey step on it thank
you before landing his sweet gig on The
Tonight Show Jimmy Fallon was known for
his constant breaking on Saturday Night
Live and for appearing in some subpar
movies including this one I got to go on
us to M
modus operandi that’s police jargon
don’t know what it means
that’s not police jargon is Latin right
pirates both released in 1998 the
original taxi is a French film about a
tarnished taxi driver chauffeuring a
police officer
Danka Danka Volvo a van keys of jail
released only six years later the remake
is entirely unnecessary and considerably
worse in every way your mom’s drunk
always Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon
make an awful pairing and the plot
consists of nothing more than a bunch of
hot babes and wacky car chases despite
being a box-office success
taxi has been described as dismal and
idiotic by critics make of that what you
will I mean I know you know the
divisionary expert number 2 Dinner for
Schmucks all right I get it
you said you were fine but what would it
take to keep the lawyers out another
misguided attempt at remaking a French
comedy Dinner for Schmucks a take on
1998 two dudes in a duck call works on
paper with funny man Steve Carell and
Paul Rudd in the leading roles but the
execution is more than a little spotty
what are you doing oh my god it works
receiving mixed reviews the film follows
a group of business people who invite
eccentric individuals to dinner in order
to make fun of them Barry
barri the result is an incredibly
mean-spirited situation and improvised
jokes that never really land what part
of no more do you not understand when
the best thing about your movie is a
group of dead mice you know something
went wrong go ahead
Wow incredible before we cringe at our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions remember the guy that came by a
little earlier that we didn’t recognize
dude in the leather jacket yeah well he
he came by to study and he showed me
some pictures of him and dare this cave
is not as it appeared as if I had to
press this button here it will deploy a
weapon far more deadly than yours that
note in the bars are asking something
for nothing doesn’t seem to work out
that way does it
hey I guess what Fox sport wants to
interview me on TV okay well we got this
dad got another thing number one
Arthur wait give me the whole bubble
because my life’s over while Russell
Brand was on a roll leading up to this
film Arthur effectively killed any
momentum he conjured you drunk again
author
no I have remained drunk since our last
encounter this remake of the 1981
original about a rich drunk with little
ambition saw brand take over for the
revered Dudley Moore to
less-than-stellar effect Oh lovely
that’s come off his performance was
called dull and painfully unfunny and
brand agreed with the reaction himself
even calling his decision to star in the
movie quote a mistake just for open
Annie as a man open money
the remake tarnishes the originals
reputation and was polarizing for
critics however many did consider it one
of the worst movies of the year
congratulations Vivian you in do you
agree with our list what do you consider
to be an awful comedy remake I’m gonna
send a sin
for more critical top 10s published
