Actually I would rather say it is the opposite of improvement what we see here. Or the other movie looks like Citizen Kane compared to this. There is a story and the message overall is not a bad one (even if it seems to take ages to get there). But there also so many things wrong here. Cliches are one thing, racially motivated language another.
This would not pass a PC test nowadays ... not by a long shot. Maybe you feel I'm being harsh, maybe you brush it off as "it was the old days, they didn't know any better". I am not telling you how to feel about anything, I am telling you what you will get. Your reaction to it, is yours and yours alone. For the record, I don't think those things are funny to be honest. But even if you disagree, the acting on hand here is horrible. Most of the jokes (offensive or not) are lukewarm at best ... for some reason this silliness was something people were crying for ... Sorry that sounded judgy. If you actually like this, good for you. Overall I think this does not live up to any comedy or humor standard. There is not enough suspension of disbelief to make this work ...
