This 'Kid's' all right

It's heartbreaking to see movies I watched during my childhood being remade, often with disastrous results (see Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" for Exhibit A). But I'm near-giddy about "The Heartbreak Kid." Ben Stiller takes over for Charles Grodin as a man who, on his honeymoon, meets his dream girl. Of course, it's not his wife we're talking about.

It's still a great title for a movie, it's inspired by Neil Simon's 1972 screenplay and the Farrelly brothers are directing. The film hits theaters Oct. 5.

Check out the trailer.
