Well, I mean... I don't really understand what the skin color of the cast has to do with anything, but...

Why?? I remember the movie being nominally funny, but this is the second TV "remake" of the thing, and the first one didn't do very well. Why this particular movie? I feel like I'm missing something.

They should honestly make television shows out of all the 80s comedies. The 80s was the best decade for movies, without question.

I may also be biased, shush.

I've heard it's awful, but Mike Epps is funny.

I won't partake.

As of tomorrow, to my great shame, Big Brother 18 will take over my TV life.

Don't. I'm quite certain you will love it as much as I do. It is my guiltiest pleasure.

Watching people lose their sense of humanity and become cut-throat liars and backstabbers only to genuinely believe they're honest and have integrity is like crack to me. An I hate myself a little for it.

No, thank you. I get enough of that at work.

Reviews appear to be negative by the looks of things. I think I'll give it a miss.

The original wasn't good enough to be worthy of a remake IMO. Then again, neither is 90+% of the shit that gets rebooted these days.

I would ask where all the original ideas are, but I already know.
