For me this is a remake and not an adaptation. It's not bad at all but I still prefer the original (un elephant ça trompe énormément). Gene Wilder being as good as he is should have taken the concept of the original but not copy it entirely. I mean every scene is an exact copy of the original. All countries take movies from other countries and remake them but forget to add that little touch from their own country and culture, wich then makes it an adaptation and not a remake. And that's why it usually isn't as good as the original in my opinion.
I'm sure there are a few exceptions where remakes are better than the original one but this is not the case.
Gene Wilder is very very funny and if this remake was made by someone else most people wouldn't even have seen it or even liked it.
If you haven't already, watch the original and the sequel, because yes there is a sequel. Pardon Mon Affaire and Pardon Mon Affaire, Too ;)
