I'm a great fan of the Coen brothers. And of Tom Hanks. But I didn't find the movie funny. However I did enjoy the original.

And, being one myself, I wouldn't find killing old ladies amusing! But the title was obviously meant to be ironic. (My English friends insist that Americans don't get irony.)

It's definitely not the greatest Coen film, but it's just weird enough to be funny. And jeez, Tom Hanks is so freaking... off in that film, lol. It's something I can't get enough of.

And yes, the title is meant to be ironic, lol. Like I said in the review, I'm kind of glad this film doesn't dwell on killing a little old lady for as long as I've heard the original did. Like I said, it's just off-putting from what is essentially a rather offbeat screwball comedy.
