Obviously written by Wokers for Wokers. Thanks for the movie warning. I'll be making a wide miss of this.

Be prepared for more remakes, pandering to the woke folk

Market forces dictate the product. A new fruit shop opened around the corner from me 'pandering' to people who like fruit.

This sounds like a lousy re-make, surely going to flop

I want to see the all-black version on Broadway because this is very wrong. The numbers do not match TV commercial numbers to build up the stats at all. Woke needs to be awoken.

Social Justice advocates don't have any creative ability so they just deconstruct everything else

You would struggle to find anybody working in any creative industry now who isn’t a social justice advocate.

It’s been that way since the 1960’s.

I'm a bit confused. Is it okay to call the black dude who seems to identify as a woman... a fairy?

As with any kind of remake, they only keep coming if they turn enough of a profit.

Wow thanks for the heads up. This looks like utter trash

Who gave the green light for that?

While I wouldn't mind this too much, it is helping to promote future societal issues for women by trying to be "woke" or politically correct. The modern generation of young women and men that were raised on this type of stuff are not getting along very well due to women being taught to expect far beyond what reality can offer. Examples are gave rise to young women expecting men to be the top 1%

@Strangerland, I highly suggest you check out what is happening in many western countries by watching some of the following individuals.

Pink Book Lessons: Lapeef Let's Talk Reaction | Chameleons Show True Colors When REAL Traditional Women Speak - YouTube

Roma Army: 10 men’s issues that society ignores and blames on men. - YouTube

Kevin Samuels, Rebecca Barett, etc.

Young boys aren't being taught properly how to be GOOD men, and young girls are being taught to expect double standards to become women who exploit, manipulate, and develop an excessive sense of self-entitlement. Just like there is toxic masculinity/misogyny, instead of true EQUALITY (which is balance for both sexes), it has been sliding in the opposite direction of toxic feminism/misandry.

Our societies in the "West" have been directing ourselves into a hole due to trying to appease and placate everyone and it is backfiring. Dropping marriage rate, increased divorce rate, declining birth rate, women who desire hetoro relationships are extremely unhappy... the list goes on.

Ah well, looks like my post wasn't proof read before posting.

Joke I remember hearing.

Many modern women want and only look for 6' feet (Tall), 6 figures (Wealthy), and 6 pack (Healthy) in a man.

In general what they're looking for isn't a good man....they're looking for Lucifer!

sounds appallingly bad

The most obvious problem in updating “Cinderella” for a 2021 audience is, of course, its premise that for a woman, marrying well is the only goal

Cinderella doesn’t tell all women they must marry a prince. It’s a story about Cinderella and what she wanted. If you are pro-choice you shouldn’t have a problem with some women choosing to marry a high status male. There are unfortunately many misandrists who are offended by these types of women. On the flip side there are men who have no problem marrying high status women (see the current husband of the US Vice President).

Just added to my list of films to avoid.
