First of all, I thought Nicole looked GREAT with the short brown hair. Fantastic, I think. Bette had me on the floor. "Maybe I'll attach a pinecone to my vibrator and have a VERY merry Christmas." The twist ending was very unexpected and I liked it, I'm glad it didn't end like the original with the scene in the grocery store. Glenn Close looked like she was having a blast.

I've read the reviews and it's as if the critics went in expecting a serious movie that contained the meaning of life. I was very surprised that the tone of the movie was SO campy, everything was played to hilt. The music was ridiculous, the costumes outrageous, the one-liners had me on the floor, I mean it was great.

"He used to work at AOL."
"Is that why your wife is so slow?"

On Letterman Bette said the big difference between this version & the original is that this one is trying to be a comedy, not a horror, remember?

I'm not sure that I'll pay to see it, but I do like Glenn Close. I think she's a real talent.

I take it from your post that the reviews have not been good? I have not seen any yet.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed the film.
