While it isn't a shot-for-shot replica, certainly no one can accuse Hollywood of dumbing things down here.

Although it still only just gets away with sundry homophobic and size-ist gags, there's a tad more zing than the original, though if you caught that already, be warned: this is a scene-for-scene retread.

Rock's interventions can't compensate for excessive fealty to dumb gags.
