There are thousands upon thousands of movies that could be named that all share the same plot or storyline with nothing more than rewritten characters and snappy lines added in. Whether or not you notice them or not is another matter. Sometimes I like a remake better than the original and sometimes you just can't top the original, but Holywood is going to keep spewing out the good with the bad until the moviegoing public gets their collective heads out of their asses and start buying quality over starpower.

Perfect example is to ask why people like Ashton Kutscher and Gwyneth Paltrow still have careers at all...because people buy their crap and think they are good actors and actresses when their talent is less than mediocre at best.
