It wasn't nearly as witty or funny or fun as the original. The original's music and score was fun, jazzy and had the signature "Randy Newman" sound, this was just your standard, big budget sounding music. Blech.

The story line, IMO, was "okay" but probably too old for younger viewer (Frat houses, college pranks, etc.). The dialog was jilted and forced and the overall narrative seemed "off" to me.

There were only a couple of moments where I laughed. Both Billy Crystal and John Goodman seemed off their game or disinterested because I felt at times as if they were just reading lines.
Wait... you're saying one of John Williams' most iconic scores had a signature Randy Newman sound?
