That to get it out of your system, you need to rewatch the original immediately (or as soon as possible). This is clearly the case here - everything that worked in the hilarious 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' falls totally flat here. It is true that the movie is updated to reflect modern technology, but aside from that there is absolutely no reason this needs to exist. The only thing that I liked was the fine score by Anne Dudley, but even that deserves a much better film, as do we all.
