I don't get why some people care so much about movies being made that aren't even targeted at them.

Jillian Bell was the stand out for me from 22 Jump Street and her show Idiotsitter is funny. Channing was even on an episode and it was good so i'm betting this film could turn out funny too.

I'm thinking it could be a comedy too.

Exactly. I don't understand the exasperation over a romantic comedy. It's like some people are shocked that such a film would seek to target female and gay male movie goers once in a while.

[Lejuan]

Am offended anyway.

I think it's more of a response to all these movies being remade.

I haven't seen the old one in probably 20 years and I have no desire for this despite being a female.

"Care", "exasperated", and "offended" are overly-strong words. I cared about Ghostbusters. This ... eh. Not sure I've even seen the original ... which was already a chick flick, if I recall. Wasn't interested in the original. Wouldn't've been interested in a straight remake. And, not especially interested in a sex-swapped remake.

This wouldn't even be noteworthy if not for continuing the pandering trend.

Well I agree the remakes are generally a terrible idea, at least for most films made after 1970 or so. Splash was actually one of my favourite films as a child.

I learned about this from a gay friend who was excited by it, so apparently there is an audience. I personally think Channing Tatum has a really goofy, oddly-shaped face, even he has a fabulous body, so he's not drawing me into the theatre either.

Channing Tatum? How whitewashed. Should be a black chick or dude.

Black dudes and chicks don't swim

No reason to run and hide. It's a sad truth that young black people drown at much higher rates than whites.

 

[surfin4]

A merman huh?......be interesting how they tackle the whole toilet issue, would not let my kids pee with no merman,well if any one can break down my mermaphonia its gotta be hollywood.

 

[highlander1]
