I always want to remake my favorite teen movies from the 80's and 90's...keeping them pretty much the same, but changing them from having a male lead to a female lead...For instance, think of how many dumb jokes can be squeezed out of having a female lead in a Teen Wolf remake....I am imagining a charming "trying to shave her legs..but the hair keeps growing back" scene...Genius! I think of great female lead remake movies all the time...almost any movie works....
ALMOST! the 80's movie, Loverboy, would not work...because a girl that delivers pizzas with extra anchovies to older men and then sleeps with them for money, is not so much a "Lovergirl" as she is a prostitute...Bummer, cause I really like the original movie....damn you society...with all your stupid Patrick Dempsey double standards!
