I see this as a blatant "reboot" cash-grab masquerading as female empowerment that, because of dilution and mass processing to make comedy of the most inoffensive and politically correct type, and marketing it to the Tumblr demographic, becomes reduced to nothing but derivative, gross-out, schlocky, already-seen-before humor of the lowest common denominator. This is looking not only really derivative and tacky, but hilariously, will probably eventually be called out for being offensive. There are at least four things in the trailer I could call racist or at least stereotypical about the black woman already. Not that I care. I just think that trying to do inoffensive humor isn't possible because you can never win with the demographic to which this is obviously marketed, since they're always just looking for things by which to get offended for other people.
And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't call myself a super fan of the original. It was a good comedy and I leave it at that. And hell, I'm probably the only one I know who thinks Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis were the best actors in that movie. But as with The Thing Prequel, there is absolutely no reason to remake or reboot the franchise. This is just what happens when you try to make humor of the least offensive, most mass-market type: utter garbage.
