Life as We Know It (2010)
I've seen this before also.
OK, Monday morning in the studio board room. The team is present.
"Good morning people. lets make some money. What have we got?" "I saw a movie on TV this weekend that I really liked called "Raising Waylon"." "Tell me more."
"Well, It was made is 2004, had really likable characters, a good story line and it made me feel good about the world. I think a remake could generate some income." "I don't know. The money makers these days are the "hell, fire and brimstone movies"." "Yes, but I think that's why we can make some money. This would provide the audience an alternative." "What about costs?" "I believe it would not be too costly to produce." We can just change the characters and modify the story line a bit. We can also sign some popular talent who draw an audience. The profit margin could be sizable." "What do you think the title should be?" "How about, "LIfe as We Know It"?" " OK, let's check this out. Get it ready for a focus group evaluation. You just may have something."
This review may be more of a protest against an apparent lack of creativity in Hollywood. Remakes are becoming much too frequent. The point is that I'm looking for more originality for my entertainment dollar. Don't count on me to buy tickets for this one. I'll watch "Raising Waylon" again.
