There Is aa big difference between the two because in the 2005 version it was more superstars in the movie basically making the movie stand out a lot more as in the 1974 version it was pretty much way back in the day because the producers and camera work wasn’t as good as it is now and they had only one superstar to let be the main character but in the 2005 version the star an Adam had more perks them but in the movie but the movies have basically the same story line .
I have personally have not seen either the original version or the remake of this movie. However, I feel that it should be interesting because it is an Adam Sandler movie.I would want to know if the remake is more of a comedy because of the roles that Adam Sandler often plays. Also how did the addition of more popular celebrities as characters in this movie make it stand out.
