It's not. I think it's hilarious and never got the hate for it.

It's not necessarily bad but it isn't any good either. It's just a total misfire. The biggest problem with it is that they made the old lady far too formidable compared to the original, to the point I was expecting her to just beat all the criminals to death with a frying pan. That's a good movie premise, but it isn't one that jives with the central premise of The Ladykillers. Also Tom Hanks was IMO terribly unfunny to the point I think it was so long since he'd done a humorous role that he'd actually forgotten how and just acted weird instead.

Side note: Ladykillers is their only film that's unavailable on blu ray.

Not at all surprising.
