I haven't laughed out loud in a theater like that in years. That snowman sequence, good lord. Please be a revival of comedies like this.

So glad they left it in.

I laughed more during the new War of the Worlds. Well, that was at the movie, not with the movie, but the point stands. Maybe this is a cultural thing since my audience wasn't feeling it much either, and I keep hearing about these raucous crowds in the States. I LOVE the originals, and despite not enjoying the trailers of this reboot, I was entirely ready to give it a chance, but it just didn't work for me. Pamela is brilliant, though.
