kinda like the US version of Little Britain: it's hilarious but something's missing.
The yanks always do this, they're too afraid to watch anything that's foreign and think US audiences won't understand sarcasm, etc. remakes always lose out.
They did this with Kath & Kim, they made the cast more glamorous and got rid of the fat girl - it flopped. Australian audiences thought the remake was just embarrassing.
US film-makers also wanted to do a US version of The Full Monty not long after the UK version broke box office records
