This looks :bugs:

Tell me if I'm wrong.
Didn't I see this movie (recently) with an all white British cast -- and the same midget? Even the trailers are strikingly similar -- right down to the line about the donkey.

Who doesn't love a story about donkeys?

It's good enough to tell twice...
Is it not odd that they'd remake a movie less than three years after the original?
-
Certainly out of the norm to say the least.
However maybe it is like having two versions of The Office. I actually like the English version better.
-
Yeah, I actually did know about the British version.
I didn't mention it because I think it certainly takes away from this version. As a general rule, remakes (especially Hollywood versions of recent foreign films) suck compared to the original. As another general rule, British humor cracks my shit up.
However, despite being a carbon copy of another film, this one looks pretty original in another sense. It's the first movie I know of to be a black comedy in both senses of the word. I'm a big fan of the "dark humor" variety. Not so much typically a fan of the Soul Plane variety.
Consisting of a mostly black ensemble cast, yet none of these actors typically appear in those types of movies that typically call for one.
It appears that the rule of this movie is black = British from the original, and white = American from the original, as far as the characters go (The guy that gets drugged, and the dwarf were both Americans in the original).
That's the only reason I can see that they went with the same dwarf. I would have thought with the way this was redone they would have gone with Tony Cox (the dude from Friday & Bad Santa).

Think of the money they would save on rehearsals as well.

Just watched the original tonight.
I was wrong on this assumption. I knew the guy that played the guy that gets slipped pills was an American actor, but he plays a limey in this.
It was a funny movie, though. Still kind of interested in seeing the remake.
