...it should be pointed out to those fervently defending it as "new" and "fresh" that this is a faithful remake of Billy Wilder's masterful "The Apartment", made back in 1960 and a Best Picture winner. The main difference is that the original was set in a large office building rather than a university. Jack Lemmon plays the lead; three co-workers of his keep pushing him out of his apartment so they can carry on illicit affairs, while he falls in love with the elevator operator who is dating his boss.
Those of you who enjoyed "Loser" will probably enjoy the original even more - fresher, funnier, edgier and darker. If "Loser" stood by itself, it wouldn't be a bad movie, but most critics naturally compared it to its superiour inspiration leading to a lot of negativity.
