As good as this film is, it is the one example I can find where the remake is actually better than the original film.
This film is funny in a B movie way with a few mild laughs too but it doesn't compare to the 1968 Frank Oz version. The now legendary Jack Nicholson was probably the best thing about this film for me as he is very rarely seen in a bad role and his sequence does provide more laughs than the rest of the film.
It is a good film and like any remake, you should see the original preferably before you see the remake but failing that, just see it at some point. It is worth a watch if you like or even dislike the 1968 version.
