Arthur
How you choose to take this remake of Dudley Moore's 1981 classic hinges entirely on your tolerance for a certain Russell Brand. Granted, his Arthur 2.0 is a slightly toned-down version of himself, and the pelvic thrusts, sex-mad antics, swearing and prank calls to aging comedians are at a minimum, but if you outright don't like the bloke, a top hat, tails and a cane is hardly going to change that.

There are literally no more movies from the eighties to remake. Sorry Hollywood, the decade's dry. Move on to the nineties. Or better yet, eat a bag of dicks and die.

Weekend At Bernie's remake will literally flog a dead corpse
Hurry up and climb that mountain or kiss that girl you like, because the world is about to end - right after the release of the remake of Weekend At Bernie's. Because only a cruel, vengeful God would allow such a thing.
