I have never understood the appeal of Steve Martin, who while pleasant enough never seems a special talent, and I have definitely never understood the point of remaking films that were not particularly good in the first place. In fact it's not even a remake since the Clifton Webb starrer from the 50's was about an efficiency expert and this movie only shares the title. The picture is OK in a nothing special sort of way, but my main reaction is "why bother".
I know that Martin has a following for his "crazy guy" persona, but that was a long time ago and the recent family-friendly fare can not possibly appeal to the same fans.
