    Carrie RickeyPhiladelphia Inquirer

    Sandler nimbly steps into the role created by Cooper and makes it his nebbishy own, something that cannot be said for Ryder's attempt to rethink the Arthur part. Ryder is lovely, but perhaps too sincere an actress to play a wiseacre. show more

    Connie OgleMiami Herald

    Surprisingly sweet and, dare we say it, old-fashioned, with an engaging sense of humor that's a definite improvement on lame, lowbrow efforts such as "Little Nicky." show more

    The remake stumbles from a ragged start into a child's garden of worses -- worse than the original in more ways than you could imagine.
