ygmn Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I own both...and finally have watched both... hmmmmmmmm which is better....Hmmmmmmmmm I loved them both... different yet similar... both funny... both entertaining... If you were not at least 9 years old in 1976 then you may not appreciate the original....since some things may seem dated and not bring back memories... but you should watch both IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 The original is a GREAT film--Matthau's performance is among his best and the kid actors are uniformly solid. In the remake the child actors are pretty terrible and Billy Bob just doesn't cut it for me as "Boilermaker." I give the orignal a "9" and the remake a "4" on the old 1-10 scale.
