Title: soda without any fizz
Product review: Ironically I did not appreciate the original version when it came out; I was younger and did not pay enough attention. I got this newer version in a combo pack and thought I was getting the older version, but I wanted to be fair and give it a shake. Heaton and Daniels, while talented and funny people, just do not deliver the high-intensity punch of Mason and Dreyfuss, who play off each others' stress magnificently. Even the child actress is mixed in better in the older version. Even Alan Cumming was robbed of his luster, which makes me even more sad. The performances lack intensity, stress, neurosis and heat. What was the point in making a clumsy, oatmeal version of an intense movie with perfect performances and casting?
