ROTTEN TOMATOES: Queen Latifah to Star in "All of Me" Remake

Queen Latifah to Star in "All of Me" Remake

by Scott Weinberg | April 27, 2007

Summary

Anyone remember a funny old comedy from 1984 called "All of Me"? Steve Martin found himself half-possessed by the ghost of Lily Tomlin? (I actually love this movie.) Anyway, someone's doing a remake and Queen Latifah is going to star. Back to Article

Wait - this is a classic film with two terrific performances. Why in the world would someone want to ruin it with a rema... oh, that's right... Hollywood is run by a bunch of number-crunching, money-hungry whores without an ounce of artistic integrity.

Let's just hope and pray that they don't turn this great movie into another Taxi.

Queen Latifah is one of the biggest no-talent hacks today.

do people actually like latifah? she's terrible. she's a stereotype. i simply don't understand why she keeps getting paid to be a horrible actress.

whoa whoa what BACK UP!! Latifah is actually a fine actress its just that shes been in a bit of a slump of bad films lately, like "taxi". i guess nobody saw her terrific perfomance as an HIV-positive woman in HBO's "Life Support" or her oscar-nominated performance in "Chicago" (everyone was looking at Zeta-Jones, Zellweger, and Gere lol). yes she has been in some awful movies, occasionally putting in some bad perfomances as well but overall shes a very good actress shes just in a big screen funk. maybe this remake can actually help her out (maybe. u never know with remakes)

Hollywood economics do not equal good movies.

And far too often does not equal much money either.

I like the Queen though. She intentionally picks horrible roles in bad movies quite often, but I like her.

I cannot help but agree with you. I can't believe I am actually spending time hating on her but I feel so strongly about it. She stinks. I mean spoiled milk stink after sitting in a closed container in the hot sun for a few weeks. How did she get where she is today? If I had to pick one person in Hollywood or films (or music) today that has no business there it would be her.
