Watch the trailer for the updated version of the 1987 Elisabeth Shue film, starring Sabrina Carpenter and Sofia Carson.
Absolutely not, marketing person.
shareMade by Disney and going to be a TV movie, yeah this isn't going to suck at all....
shareThe original was also made by Disney, but it was released under their Touchstone Pictures label, which is not a separate studio. At that time, only G-rated movies were released under the Disney brand.

Disney created the Touchstone label in order to release adult-oriented movies that wouldn't be prejudged as typical Disney fare, and probably also to avoid upsetting parents who would automatically assume a Disney movie would be safe for their kids to watch.
shareDid you not read what I wrote? Disney specifically created Touchstone so that they could release more mature-themed movies like the ones you listed, without using the Disney name, which they didn't want to tarnish. Splash was the first film released under Touchstone.
Heck, Pretty Woman, the R-rated story about a hooker with a heart of gold, was essentially a Disney film but released under the Touchstone banner. In fact, the story was changed considerably when Disney got involved. Originally, it was titled $3,000 (a reference to how much money Ed pays her for six days of her time) and it was a gritty, more realistic portrayal of prostitution -- and it didn't have a happy ending. When Disney came on board, they pretty much bowdlerized it and turned it into a romantic comedy. Still, it was a story about a prostitute and drugs, so they wouldn't dare release it under the Disney name.

"DON'T F@CK WITH THE BABYSITTER!"
Nope.
shareWatching the original right now on Netflix. Grew up on this movie. This remake can't possibly compare.

Watched the first 10 minutes today (in the UK) and, to put it politely, it's *beep* Turned off and poured bleach in my eyes. What a *beep* liberty!
shareI'll check it out ... the day I gain the ability to propel myself through the air on my own flatulence.
The Rear Window remake with Chris Reeve was probably the last remake to be made which was in any way decent. Every other remake from that time and since has been soulless garbage made by hacks with no respect for the source material.
A Superman without trunks isn't worth watching or reading about.
