Classic Male Movies Remade as “Feminist” Flicks
Ghostbusters, Oceans 8, and the coming-soon remakes of timeless stories like ‘What a Woman Wants’ have shown us that women have very low standards for what is considered a feminist “win” for Hollywood. So here are my pitches for the next ballbuster blockbuster…
Diet Hard
Jane McClane must lose 10 pounds before German supermodel Heidi
Gruber’s Christmas Eve Party.
The [Fairy] Godmother
She’ll make her an offer she can’t refuse…. but it’s all over at midnight.
Braveheartbroken
He offered her freedom when the only thing she wanted was love…
Cat Fight Club
The first rule of this sexy, fierce remake: Never stop talking about it.
Good Will Shopping
In the midst of mandatory retail therapy, a woman discovers she has
advanced bargain-shopping skills.
Adrian
She finds a man who will fight for her.
Adrian II
Pretty much the same as the first one.
Adrian III
We’re not sure why there’s a third one.
Adrian IV
Adrian goes to Russia!
Adrian V
She must come to terms with her future as the nurse to a braindead former
boxer.
The Goonie-sitters Club
A group of babysitters lose their kids and call the police like responsible
teenagers. There’s also a cute boy next door who helps.
Scarface
Antonia finds a great scarf.
Dirty Hairy
Summer is coming, but she hasn’t shaved her legs in months… Do you feel
lucky?
What About Barb
A woman takes baby steps toward, you guessed it, a baby.
