Those expecting anything remotely like the charming, and funny original, will be sorely disappointed by this offering, as it fails on all counts, most importantly humour. Trotting out sub Benny Hill situations, and cringe worthy outdated lines in a modern context makes any attempts at comedy, or social critique both look and sound ridiculous. I am sure the actors thought themselves amusing as they recklessly camped their way through dire scene after dire scene, despite the recorded efforts proving them totally wrong in their assumptions, and this highlights the main flaw in this movie...laziness, laziness in concept(nicking a film franchise 50 years old), laziness in casting(throwing a motley collection of today's British alleged talent at the project), laziness in performance(it's a comedy so forget about about acting, it's panto time!), and most importantly writing(if I bought the same Christmas crackers the script writers used I would want my money back!) In short this is yet another over-hyped, over blown, self satisfied, contrived piece of nonsense masquerading as comedy from the British film industry.
