Fans of the original may or may not be disappointed, but I thought it was a laugh riot. (I vaguely remember the original series, and I don't think they were playing for laughs back then.)
Don't expect anything too high brow, they are deliberately raising the cheese factor in this one. As usual, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are lots of fun together (if you haven't seen Zoolander, do it!), and Snoop Dogg makes an excellent Huggy Bear. (A word to Snoop, though - eat something, man, you're too thin!)
If you're a child of the 70's, it will definitely bring back memories! Oh, the bad fashions! The dance-off was very fun, too - did people really dance like that? (I was a youngster in the 70's.) It was a very enjoyable diversion.

I saw previews for this film and it caught my eye, so I rented the DVD. It was extremely well acted, especially by Dora van der Groen as Pauline. It had funny moments, and also true-to-life moments. It wasn't earth shattering, but it was very touching. I also enjoyed the director's commentary on the DVD. He talked about the decisions made, especially the use of color, and how long it took to get the film made - 4 years! It really was a labor of love. If you need heart-wrenching drama or action, this isn't the film for you, but if you appreciate good acting and scenes that touch your heart, I highly recommend this one!
