Additional InformationIt is always difficult to try to recreate a classic movie, so Joel and Ethan Coen took the premise of Alexander Mackendrick's beloved 1955 Ealing Studio caper comedy, THE LADYKILLERS, as the basis for coming up with their own entertaining and bizarre remake. Tom Hanks stars as Goldthwait Higginson Dorr, Ph.D., a would-be professor who talks his way into renting the cellar of Mrs. Munson (Irma P. Hall), where he and his supposed band will practice their "Renaissance music." But they are actually plotting to tunnel through to steal a mint from a riverboat casino. The motley crew of incompetent criminals includes Marlon Wayans as Gawain MacSam, a hip-hoppity thug pretending to be a janitor; J.K. Simmons as movie prop man and demolition "expert" Garth Pancake, who has problems with irritable bowel syndrome; Tzi Ma as the General, a Vietnamese tunnel rat with a Hitler moustache; and Ryan Hurst as a pathetically dumb football wannabe named Lump. Just when they think all is going well, they run into a curious Mrs. Munson, who smells something funny. The film includes several exhilarating Gospel scenes set in southern churches, and lots of riotous site gags.

    Another Tom Hanks classic

    In my optnion often majority actors ( not all) poor indeed however Tom Hanks is not one of them also actors such as Morgan Freeman class actors Tom Hanks reminds me of many Brit actors whom are either outstanding or awful Tom reminds me of Alex Guinness whom could play any role equally great in the Brit version The lady Killers

    Abysmal remake of a comedy classic. UNWATCHABLE

    As a fan of Tom Hanks ,I wanted to see how he tackled an Ealing Studio`s classic comedy masterpiece. Couldn`t get past the first ten minutes. Appaling characters ,who couldn`t engage in a moments dialogue without vile expletives. Truly AWFUL ! Whoever perpetrated this monstrocity needs lynching

  • Not Tom Hanks at his best...

    I'm a big fan of Tom Hanks, but have to say that this has to be one of the worst films he has made to date: the characters are two-dimensional cliches, the acting is wooden, and Hanks' accent is indecipherable. I wanted to take it out of the DVD player after 15 minutes but persevered to the end, hoping that the experience would get better - it didn't. Not funny, not entertaining, and it's gone straight in the bag for the charity shop.

  • Not my cup of tea

    The dvd was fine.. although I did expect it to be in a box. The film itself though was awful. I couldn’t understand a word Tom Hanks said. The original Ealing comedy was so much better.
