CS Commentary: We don’t agree that there are more laughs or more of anything in this blander version of the original. Injecting Nicole Kidman probably negatively offsets the character and plot balance – the original role was not emphasized as much – plus the charisma and chemistry of the main actors is somewhere below that of the original as well. If you want to see a funnier and more seamless version, rent the original French (2nd highest grossing French film of all time), The Intouchables

Quotes Of The Month:
On whether ‘global warming’ is a settled scientific fact:
“Virtually by definition, nothing in science is ‘incontrovertible’ – especially in a primitive and complex field as climate. ‘Incontrovertibility’ belongs to religion where it is referred to as dogma.” – Richard Lindzen, American atmospheric physicist
“As to ‘the science is settled’; or, there is a ‘consensus’ on the issue. … [S]cience is about facts, experiments and testing hypotheses, not consensus; and science is never ‘settled.’ Indeed, Einstein’s relativity theories are still being tested; e.g.’Lorentz invariance.’” – Prof. Robert M. Carter
