Actually, Halo, what you probably saw was Steve Martin's best impression of Peter Seller's original Inspector Clusoe (which was brilliant - watch that one instead).

Another sad example of Hollywood unwillingness to take a chance on anything new. Everything anymore is a sequel or a prequel or a remake of something that has already proven to be financially successful.

Art, sports, music, film... nothing is pure anymore. As every new ballplayer to sign a giant contract says, "At the end of the day, this is a business."

And that's sad
