King of the remake

This was a gift for my wife. I don't know why she likes this movie, but she does. I was a fan of Steve Martin in the 70s, when he did stand-up and was on SNL. I am certainly not a fan anymore. Remake after remake, his performances fall short. In my humble opinion, as a performers he "plays it safe." He's not going to do so on my dime. Remakes for the most part are slop, with no originality. Remakes are a testimony to the fact that no one reads anymore and therefore are uninspired to come up with ideas of their own. Mr. Martin leads the pack in that category. Shame on him.
