Not much interest in the movie on DL, judging from the other thread.

They should have waited and make a gay remake of this as sequel for Call Me By Your Name with Armie Hammer as rich douche and Timothee Chamalet as stuggling waiter trying to make ends meet for himself and his little brothers.

Eugenio Derbez is a HUGE star in Mexico. This is his crossover effort. Poor Anna doesn't have the clout she once had being Mrs. Chris Pratt.

The Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell one was also a remake of earlier one.

How out of ideas is Hollywood? A remake of Overboard? Are you fucking kidding me?

It's going to do about $13m for the weekend.
It cost $12m to produce.

Where did Ah-nah Faris come from? I never heard of her until a few weeks ago, and now she's everywhere. Was I asleep, or was she not a thing? Or is she getting an extra shove from Hollywood marketing?

It's called "Mom." And there's that other horsey looking actress in it. I didn't know this show existed.

Ain't gonna happen.

I grew up watching Derbez on tv, and am a fan. He was very funny, and quite successful in Mexico. However, I don't believe that his jokes, and style of humor translates to American audiences. I don't find him funny at all in English. When he constantly is trying to translate his message in his head while he speaks, he loses the funny.
I guess that goes for most people speaking a language not their own.

I love the original movie. It's so endearing. This current version lacks the charm that the previous one had.

When I saw the commercials I thought Derbez was suppose to be gay and thought that was funny having him think he was married with kids.

Longoria said in multiple interviews that the plot of the film is exactly the same as the original. The only difference is the leads are gender-swapped.
If that's true, then I don't get the reason for a remake.

14 million weekend box office already making up all of the budget , this will probably get another 20-30 million easily in the states and will probably do well in Mexico. Quick cash grabs for lionsgate, Derbez, faris and Longoria.

Opening at around $15 million is actually very good for this movie considering it only opened on 1,600 screens.

I saw it this afternoon and came home to see what DL had already decreed.
I didn't see HTBALL. So I had no expectations of him.
I never saw the Hawn/Russel version so I had no expectations of the film.
As to Derbez, he has that cute goofy going on and I immediately took to him as a Latin Tom Hanks/Ben Affleck.
I really liked the Telenovela background, the working Latinos, THEY made this movie. Longoria was delightful.
But what made this movie was the believability that Derbez brought to his character. It could hjave been done more slapstick, more broad but Derbez took me on a trip to maturity. From Lady Hands to Man Hands. It was beautiful and charming without being ham fisted.
It is one of those movies that you think is going to waste an afternoon, but you end up liking for a number of reasons.
It was predictable, but enjoyable. I hope Derbez makes lots and lots of money Latin distribution.
by Anonymous | reply 34 | May 10, 2018 1:31 AM |
The problem is that Derbez is past his prime. We are talking about a guy who is 57 years of age. His attempt to crossover came very late.
He was at his handsomest in the late 80s-90s.

I said he is cute-goofy. He has an attractive likability.
Just as Jimmy Stewart was not classically handsome, Derbez has a a sweetness that makes him likable.
I would not want him to fuck me but I would not pass up giving him a blow job.

They never had sex in the 80's version. The premise was, in the end Goldie Hawn fell in love with the family, and only after she knew the truth, she continued with Kurt Russell and kids.

I saw it the other day and thought it was cute. Eva was great, age appropriate and very pretty. I didn't know it was her at first.
Anna was perfect in the role.
The lead guy was also very funny. He wasn't old, ugly or whatever you guys are speculating. He does fall in love with Anna and her kids and looks in a menial labor job (so looking bad made sense).
It was a goofy PG comedy for families--like the original. I usually dislike remakes, but this was well done.

I agree with the person who said It would work better nowadays as a gay story. I would choose other actors, though.
Anyways, wasn't that Russell/Hawn vehicule a Disenyfied adaptation of Travolti Da Un Insolito Destino ....(1974), the provocative Line Wertmuller film ?

R54, I remember in the 80s/early 90 ? when that movie would be telecasted every summer, or so, on the more cultural channel, and my parents would watch it and have me watch as well.
Difficult to explain in 2018.
Yes, that movie was about class divide, but also the misogyny could pass because the director was a woman.
