WHY did they take a film that would obviously pull in a LOT of cash especially from the older audiences who want to see it for the nostalgia value and fill the two lead roles with the WORST actors in all of Hollywood? Especially Ben Stiller, I hate him soooooo much. He's almost as bad as Sean WIlliam Scott who can't actually do anything but very bad teen movies. His characters never even have the slightest bit of depth, ever. Anyway yeh, they hired two bad actors to play the lead roles in a great film why?

Think about it: Two badly dressed guys driving around in a massive Ford Gran Torino who are informed by an even worse dressed pimp. It was never serious, and never will be.
It was just an example of a film that gives characters depth, films like Starskt and Hutch or Charlies Angles are meant to be enjoyed don't aim for depth so don't try to find it while watching them.

As for Old Man Funk, I saw Mystic River and it wasn't that great. They killed off Dave at the end despite the fact he was in fact the good guy who everyone had gotten lots of sympathy for and so on. Well I had a lot of sympathy for him and the film died for me when he died.

It's meant to be a tounge in cheek, "Charlies Angels" style update. I hate Stiller, so I have to agree with you there, but Owen Wilson I don't mind so much.
Oh, the original series sucked too, me being old enough to remember watching it. Sometimes something nostalgic can be looked at through rose tinted glasses. It sucked, plain and simple.

They don't intend for his characters to have depth, thats the kind of films they are. Go see Mystic River if you want depth. Its ok to enjoy films without having to analyse them you know.
