I haven't watched the original, but I thought this was a truly great movie. There's just something nostalgic about movies set in the 90s, and this delivered everything to make it special: the props and set design, the outfits, music and the slang used within the script. Not sure why this is getting relatively low ratings, but in my opinion, this was a great watch that leaves you feeling warm and able to reflect. A super lighthearted movie, definitely put this on if you're craving a simple slice-of-life genre movie to watch.

Edit: so I did see a couple of reviews saying that some questions weren't answered at the end, but I feel like they shouldn't necessarily be answered. Us, as watchers, we can assume and play around a bit to see how the story played out. I do agree however, that the plot dried out towards the end, but the feel of the movie itself made it up for me to enjoy it a lot.
