Probably deserves about a 4, but I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS!

Remake a film... FINE. But don't copy every single aspect of the movie.
And if you're going to - you better improve on it or you're going to get a review like this one.
Every single aspect of the film is the same. I thought the remake of "Arthur" borrowed a little TOO much, but this remake takes the cake. There wasn't one iota of new ideas in this entire movie.
I can only imagine the lack of effort it took to bring this thing together.
The acting was fine, the production values were fine too, but when you know every scene before it comes because IT IS the same - you just don't care anymore.
From the scraping of his license under his chin, to the yellow bug(yes the door still sticks), to his friend "Willard", to Ariel's dress in the final scene, to getting unfairly caught with a joint, to listening to quiet riot, to well, you get the point.
I just don't SEE the point. Watch the original - it's mUCH, much better.
You wanna know how to remake a movie... do what "Shawshank" did for "Escape From Alcatraz", or what "The Departed" did for "Infernal Affairs"... DON't Just copy the darn thing from beginning to end!
This is the new Hollywood at a new, all-time low!
ugh. I forced my wife to sit through this at my request, and now I have a pile of payback that sits a mile high... thanks a lot Footloose!
34/100 Probably worth about 45/100 until you factor in the fact it just blatantly copied an entire movie scene for scene, nuance for nuance, dialog for dialog... Miles Teller is quite literally the only redeeming quality here.
