But not the remake... if you can call it that

The remake of 'The Producers' is practically the entire original movie - word for word, with some extra musical numbers. I mean they didn't even try with this one. You would hope that they could at least try, but Matthew Broderick's acting in this was cardboard to the point of annoyance, not a touch on the original Gene Wilder one (simply without compare). Nathan Lane was a bit better, but didn't have the right level of desparation that Zero Mostel brought to the original one. Let's just leave Uma Thurman's role out all together, and Will Ferrell deserves to be clobbered for this one. Seriously, stick to the properly low-brow comedy like 'the ballad of ricky bobby'.
