SPOILERS:
As a remake, this wasn't bad at all. It isn't as god as the original, in my opinion but is still a lot of fun to watch. The essential story is the same though a few minor details are changed.
I liked Lohan's work in this but found the casting of Natasha Richardson to be the best thing about it. This is the kind of story that never feels dated. It's completely family friendly and kind of a classic, so, even though I don't always like remakes, I think this was a great movie to remake.
I'd say this version is a little wackier then the original(though I saw the first one so long ago it's tough to remember) but by and large there are not all that many differences and if one is seeing the story for the first time, without having seen the original they will still probably get a lot of enjoyment from this version.
The fact that the story wasn't to changed, as well as the wonderful casting made this a lot of fun to watch. I;d give this a strong 7.5 and recommend it..the original AND the remake.
