Yes I'm an 80s kid, so the original with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell is hard to beat. While I love Anna Faris in Eugenio Berdez there was absolutely no chemistry between the two of them. The movie was still cute and heartfelt, and taught important lessons. As a sidenote, the nursing boards is not taken in a gymnasium it's more like going to the CIA headquarters in Langley.
Plot summary

No Chemistry
Tired, Tiresome And Pointless
I granted this a 3 solely on the presence of an underused Anna Faris, who, ironically, is sometimes compared to Goldie Hawn. Hollywood especially has a habit of saddling unwanted labels or expectations and such comparisons rarely end well. In this case, Farris - a good performer in her own right, witness House Bunny or even Scary Movie 1 to 3 - deserves better than half baked comparisons...or a lame remake that I doubt even Goldie Hawn in her 80s heyday could have salvaged.
Eugenio Derves may as well have remained in his coma for all the energy he brings, but like Farris, he's given little to work with beyond laboured jokes and contrived situations, all painfully magnified by some mediocre direction and a witless script.
Eva Longaria was credited a producer, and while I think she has some honourable intentions generally, it makes me wonder why this was even made - this is just another remake with a couple of gender swap gimmicks tagged on; nothing can hide the lack of creative energy, or the staleness of a storyline suffocating in its own dead air.
Eeeeooo so painful don't bother
Although Anna Faris is cute and resembles Goldie a little, Derbez just ain't right for the role. He isn't attractive or young enough to be a playboy required for the role.
It's so painful - don't bother.
