Zoë Kravitz takes on John Cusack’s role, relitigating her romantic past to get over a breakup, in this often hollow 10-part Hulu update of the Nick Hornby comedy

Dont think this film works if you swap the male protag with a sexy mix race woman lol. Wtf.

Pointless remake by lazy film studios

Every movie released prior to 2015 must be remade with a woman of colour in the lead role

Why do Hornby's books get so horribly adapted for the screen? The Cusack movie is the only half decent one and if they are going to the trouble of remaking it they might at least have brought it back to London where it is supposed to be set 😠

Actors should give up on sequel/prequel/remake/series mentality of Hollywood et al., just get a decent Mac and go shoot some actual films. Yes sometimes reinventing the wheel from scratch is exactly what's needed. Nothing new under the sun? Let's find out for a change.

Ew

They've changed the male lead role to female... How very woke.. Beta males and cucks form an orderly queue.

I am bitterly disappointed that they remade this. It was glorious in original form, both book and film. I don't believe for a second that we have run out of original ideas, I think Hulu is the utter definition of lazy at this point.

Seriously, is this for real?!?

Why was this a idea worth pursuing with a new cast? The whole point of the film is the knowledge of Cusack's character tied to a lifetime of music and how it relates to his own life. Zoe Kravitz hasn't even lived long enough to appreciate half the music her character likes.

I thought the whole point of the original film was that a man with a decent life can still whine and bitch about it and make it worse through his own neurosis.

Typo alert. The plural of vinyl is vinyl.

is the beta band tuned in ?

Why was this reanimated? Just watch the original

*Records

Why? Utterly pointless rehash of a fairly recent film
