I was hoping for this movie to be good. It has a good cast and a great set-up for some social commentary, and I am really disappointed if what you're saying, Bob, is true. I'll probably end up renting it.
That original version sounds pretty awesome as well, I wonder why it fell out.
And though I don't remember the Rush Hour movies, the feeling I remember of them is good, simple fun. So I guess I'll join the masses.
