Seconds

Why redo a film that was done right the first time? Especially comedies. Many films that made us laugh require a certain actor, a certain director, and a certain time. It's hard, perhaps impossible, to recapture what was magic in the original, so why not try something new?

I'm a big fan of the 1976 Bad News Bears (but not the sequels--I guess that's a different post). The new version, though it hews fairly closely to the original, seems to just be going through the motions. Where the first one had bite, the new one produces empty laughter, where there are laughs at all.

Why do it? Simple. Check out the grosses of The Longest Yard.

Next question?
