This is not a happy remake. There's nothing wrong with the remake. But if you want to do remake, you should probably make it a bit more interesting than just making an American version of a superior movie. The characters in this take are more bland, more predictable, and less entertaining. The movie is adequate, I assume, for its audience, but if you've seen the original, then this is just not that much fun. The casting of the central characters is great and Timothy is of course fantastic. But I'm not qu quite sure about the other supporting cast.
