I loved everything about the movie - except Etta.  I was still a pre-teen, but I knew even then that she didn't belong with Sundance - he already had Butch!   ;)

I wanted Etta to run off with Butch--they clearly belonged together--so I could have Sundance. ...  8)

Travolta's too fat for either role.

Too fat, too old, and too ugly.

And since Tom Cruise can only play...Tom Cruise, I'm not really interested in seeing him screw up either role, either!

My 2 cents?  The only two actors that could have pulled off a remake of that movie were Heath and Jake.

Oy, some of us used to daydream about that.  :-\  The only remake of a classic of which I would have approved.  :(

Yeah. I remember when BBM was in the theaters there was some buzz about Jack and Heath could go on to be the new Newman and Redford. That would have been wonderful, but I think they both wanted careers independent of each other, which is understandable and right.

I would have liked the cast of BBM to get together as an ensemble. For example Anne Hathaways' movie "The Devil in Prada". She could have played the lead. Michelle would be her office friend/rival. Jake could have been the Stanley Tucci character and Heath? Well, he'd bee the Devil in Prada herself. That would be his acting challenge; to play a woman.

what a great idea. I think this would have been a really good challenge for him and I bet he would have pulled it off as well
