Not an adequate remake, but rather a reinterpretation
Certainly, the Cohens have enough decency to know when a task should be left undone, and when that task is the re-creation and improvement of a comedy classic,they know better than to regurgitate old gags infused with modern flair, or do they?I will admit that I did enjoy this novel retelling of the Mackendrick classic. I enjoyed Hank’s brilliant, earnest, and flawless delivery. I also enjoyed Irma P. Hall’s sincerity. I enjoyed the score, the locale, the warm-lazy essence of Mississippi, and the mythological progression of events that is so common in the Cohens’ films. Most of all, I enjoyed the charm of this film more-so than its predecessor.
Of course, in deference, the originators deserve their due praise, but this is certainly no simple remake–it’s a retelling. Retellings don’t need to improve, dazzle, or impress by comparison–they simply are what they are, and this was enjoyable.
