Right now comedy is in really sorry shape as a movie genre. The Judd Apatow era has kind of wound down, taking stars like Seth Rogen and James Franco with it, and nobody has really replaced them. So, who would even star in a movie like this? I have a hunch it'd be a woman this time, but Amy Schumer, Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig all seem to have faded. Rebel Wilson isn't a big draw either. Tiffany Haddish? I don't know, nobody really fits. It's possible they could have a hit if they brought Eddie Murphy back for a sequel instead of a reboot, but even that would be far from a sure thing. Maybe they'd go in a totally different direction, with Dwayne Johnson or somebody like that, and use CGI for the parts where he's a shrimpy nerd. But Johnson doesn't really make goofy comedies anymore. Unless they've got some great idea that I can't think of, this seems like it'd go straight to streaming and be quickly forgotten.
