They needed to remake a movie from 87', the original plot would sound too 'overboard' the political correctiness yatch. Having a man basically kidnapping a rich, young and beautiful girl? naahh... So what did they do? They swapped the genders so with the feminist wave it could look ok for a woman to kidnap a man, use him as a labor, abuse him and basically rape him. Some might say the movie is just a stockholm syndrome justified.Apart from this discussion, the movie has some flaws. The two main actors are very bad, the plot is predictable, you don't really get the feeling of the movie, it never makes you think she is really poor. But, the movie can make you laugh, i laughed at it sometimes. Overall, it is not a bad movie, it's just not good either.

The thing that made the original work was Kurt and Goldie had chemistry, both on screen and off. There is absolutely none of that here. Amd I wish there was because I enjoy the original. This film drags along depending upon slapstick jokes and gross out humour. I didn't laugh one single time throughout this entire film. The people leaving positive reviews must've watched something different or be studio plants...

Eugenio Derbez is completely miscast for this role- he cannot be mean or nasty enough for this story to work, he plays his part with too much comedy, it's like watching Dudley Moore in Arthur. The rest of the cast is great but unable to pull this off without a strong lead. Don't even watch this on a rainy day.

I don't understand why people always compare the older one to the new one and keep pretending the the Original was better. This movie is hilarious, romantic and a tear jerker. If you really love to watch movies then you shouldnt compare otherwise enjoy and have a good laugh instead of judging and comparing.
