Jane Austen currently enjoys far greater success, and fans more willingly proclaim her greatness than ever in her lifetime. Witness her Facebook page boasting thousands of loyal fans. No one should feel surprised, therefore, movie derivatives of Austen's stories are surefire hits. Clueless, adapted from and remarkably faithful to Austen's Emma, remains a 'tween favorite, and brilliantly produced Jane Austen period pieces remain in high demand on Netflix and pay-per-view.' Set for widespread release in 2011, From Prada to Nada updates Sense and Sensibility, transposing it from dauntingly British to seductively Latina, and relocating it from the English countryside to East LA. Camilla Belle, Alexa Vega, and Adrianna Barraza star in the story of Beverly Hills socialites left penniless when their father suddenly dies. Equally traumatized by withdrawal from haute couture and their complete lack of Spanish-language proficiency, the two sisters navigate a treacherous passage from 90210 to Boyle Heights. Along the way, they learn to ride the bus, honor their Latin heritage, love their extended family, and appreciate los guapos romanticos. Of course, because it is Jane Austen, From Prada to Nada ends happily, but pack plenty of Kleenex for the cryworthy sweetness of it.

There is a Frank Oz film "Death at a Funeral" of 2007 which stills is one of the best comedies ever. And there is the Nile LaBute's remake "Death at a Funeral" of 2010 which as it turned out was not confounded the original, and at one point even outrides it. Screenwriter of both projects is the same Craig Dean, so you should not expect the different approach to story. Hence, a logical question: Why? Why was it necessary to do all the same, just change the white English actors on the better-known for global audience the black American stars, without even changing one of the key roles Peter Dinklage as a short blackmailer here and there?

The creators of the MacGruber movie comedy does not have to limit their abilities and filmed crazy movie with a lots of jokes (and a considerable part of them are very good), lots of stupid, but charming characters and vivid action-packed scenes. This craziness of the "MakGrubera" mood makes the picture unexpectedly fresh and very funny. A little-known Will Forte, who plays the role of MakGruber, works on courage, and most of the positive energy comes out from him. Long time not appearing on the big screen, Val Kilmer plays a main villain, and adds some respectability to the movie.
