⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Anybody who is a true fan of the film and followed the moments leading up to the release will know that this film was intended to be different. It was meant to be a more grown up version of the original targeted towards young adults and/or fans of the original film. I see so many comments hating that it is so different than the original and that the sexual references were offensive and inappropriate for young viewers. This film is on Freeform for a reason. It is not on Disney channel. Freeform is a channel for young adults, not necessarily children. No it will not be for everybody but for true fans of the original that are adults, I think you will love it. Of course this film is different than the original and of course the song is different. We are in a totally different world than we were in 2000. I’m not a fan of rap music but I think the song was done well to suit “pop” music right now and unfortunately that is rap. And of course this film is a bit cheesy! That’s part of the charm! And it’s a TV movie! I loved the original as a kid and I love this retelling. I’m really sad Lindsay Lohan couldn’t do it due to “scheduling conflicts” and “contractual obligations” but I think that if she truly wanted to do it she would have made it work some how so we can’t hate on Tyra or the producers for her not being in it. Give the movie a chance you guys. Go in to it knowing it will be different and knowing it is a new generation now. Enjoy the movie as it’s own thing that pays tribute to the original throughout the film. I’m sure there’s a million other things that could have been better but I’m so glad Francia was cast because she was a huge fan of the original and she got Tyra to put in little things that helped pay tribute to the first one. She was perfect for this role and the acting was not bad acting. Love it or hate it, but they have you talking about it and that is what will make this a success. I hope more Eve will come and fingers crossed for Lindsay AND Francia to return (and of course Tyra). FIVE STARS FOR NOSTALGIA!!
