Default why \"The Producers\" sucks balls

I've never walked out of a movie until tonight. The original is hilarious but this new one has some problems.

1. horrible uninspired directing - the director basically hits you over the head with the "humor." She doesn't trust the audience to find the supposedly funnny parts funny and goes out of her way to call attention to them.
2. casting - besides the fact that Matthew Broderick is nowhere nearly as funny as Gene Wilder and Nathan Lane is even hammier than Zero Mostel was in the original, the other comic actors cast were not used to their potential. Jon Lovitz? Not funny. Uma Thurman? Looks good but not funny. Surely Will Ferrell can save this film! Nope.
3. it's too choreographed - I'm sure this type of crap is funny if you see it on stage, but on film nothing looks spontaneous and the slapstick is crapstick.

Ironically it's the film's only funny song that sheds some light on what went wrong-
ROGER: Shows should be more pretty
Shows should be more witty
Shows should be more...
What's the word?
LEO: Gay?
