Why "Just Go with It" Won't Be as Good as "Cactus Flower"

As I mentioned earlier, they've remade the classic Cactus Flower into an Adam Sandler comedy. I personally am a big fan of Cactus Flower so I'm not sure I can be completely objective, but it just seems like the new one isn't going to be nearly as good. Here's why.

Cactus Flower Remake

Apparently they're remaking one of my favorite films, Cactus Flower, as a dumb Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler romantic comedy, Just Go With It. What made the original great were the three main stars and the incredibly corny '60's music and dancing and weird catch phrases. So, I have little hope for this new one that looks like every other boring romantic comedy they come out with these days.

The Best Classic Comedies You Haven't Seen

Plus, they're more corny, giving you even more to laugh at! I wrote an article on the more obscure classic comedies that I love. Which ones am I missing?
