The problem with comedies these days, is that studios go for cheap raunchy laughs with no heart. I can't even remember a studio comedy in the last several years that had heart, laughs, and a family message. Must every movie have vampires these days? I'm so sick of snarky, negative bloggers who are probably failed screenwriters, that think it's fun to cut others down. Billy and Bette are comedic legends, and I think it us a real treat for audiences to see them work together for the first time. Have some respect!

There are plenty of people old and young who would still love to see these actors in a film, so keep your unwanted opinions to yourself

Another agree for BMAN. Don't you all know that many who write for blogs live to label things "dated" because they feature an older version of the iphone? Does twenty years really equate to covered wagon days in our hip, modern lives? Should everyone who was making movies twenty years ago be set out on an ice floe, or is mandatory retirement sufficient? And in twenty years, will these bloggers' kids or grandkids be sitting around saying "Gosling, Chastain, Fassbender, I thought they were dead…meh, eww, lol" (or whatever netspeak will have evolved to by then)?

It doesn't look nearly as painful as a "Jack and Jill." It will probably do well with the older mature crowd (your parents, grandparents, etc). And it's a simple story giving a chance to some familiar and established actors we haven't seen in a while (check out "Ruthless People" and you'll know why I was happy to see Bette again). Don't forget, our culture's been so obsessed with "Twilight" and youth, we've painted ourselves into a 14 year-old's corner. Look at mtv.com. That's how the page looked during the televised conventions. The whole idea of time-traveling back to the 90s…Can you think of any movie in the last 10 years that didn't just try to hit you over the head with cynicism or violence? But that's the new generation I suppose. If you don't like it, don't see it. No need to shit all over it for everyone else looking for something safe (FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!). Or go write and direct something you feel is better. This article is unnecessarily snarky, which in itself made it trite and predictable.
