Pitch: Super Mario Bros. Budget: $48 million Gross: A hair under $21 million What does it mean to be an adaptation of something? The obvious answer is that the movie in question draws inspiration from a work, whether it be book, play, musical, or another movie. But what happens when a movie takes liberties with the work that it's adapted from? And more importantly, just how recognizable does a movie have to be in order to be called a "good" adaptation? Super Mario Bros. is an interesting case in the grand world of Hollywood, because it is, to date, the only movie based on what is perhaps the most recognizable video game character of all time, and somehow it managed to take all of that good will and turn it into something that hardly resembles the work upon which it is based. But on the other hand, maybe it's one of the best adaptations of all time...
