I don't have a problem with the switching of gender roles, but.........that just looks like a bad on screen couple, IMO.

Melissa McCarthy and Rebel Wilson fighting over the John Candy role.

(Edited to change from the vaccination-buster to the ghostbuster.)

Good God. I knew Hollywood was out of original ideas, but now we're just taking old movies and remaking them with gender roles reversed.

The original was a mispairing too. Tom Hanks isn't exactly the ideal man when it comes to looks. It's not like you can look at him and think "Oh yea, no doubt he pulls prime Daryl Hannah"

Are we absolutely sure that Emma Watson isn't playing the Beast in the new Disney movie?

Eh, fair enough. I mean, I just see no chemistry there. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I think that Hanks had a better shot at Hannah than Bell would have with Tatum.

Though we all know that real life Hannah was all about chasing the fame when it came to men.

I hope he's a gay merman and she's a lesbian and they just cohabitate and adopt a little mermaid who is transgender.
