The original television series were fabulous, intrigueing, masterfully written AND performed. But this cheap copycat got it all wrong...
The bad: supposedly a comedy (while the original was NOT), but I did not laugh once. What's a comedy without any laughs I ask you!?
More bad: they over did it. They tried FARCE and it flew right back in their face. Making a good farce is very difficult, just being silly just doesnt cut it.
The actors are great and it is quite fun (for a LITTLE while) to see them act out these silly characters. Especially Mel Gibson's transformation into a baldheaded doctor is quite amusing for a LITTLE while. But one cant make a movie just by showing some silly characters.
To be avoided if one can. This is one heck of a MISFIRE. Good intentions for sure, BAD result!
