Is this a joke (or perhaps an exaggeration for effect)? Goldie Hawn and the other actors you named had nothing to do with creating the story on which Just Go with It is based. The original version was a French play by Berillet and Gredy, which became a Broadway play by Abe Burrows, and then the screenplay of the 1969 Cactus Flower by I.A.L. Diamond. The Writers' Guild gives all four of them credit for Just Go with It (along with that films new screenwriters). Therefore, you can be sure that these people, or their heirs, or (more likely) whoever bought their film rights were properly compensated by the makers of the new version.

By the way, none of the stars of the wonderful 1969 film were in the original Broadway cast. I doubt Lauren Bacall, Barry Nelson, and Brenda Vaccaro ever considered suing when they weren't cast in the film.

I haven't see JGwI, but from trailers and IMDb I get the impression that Brooklyn Decker's character, Palmer, isn't written to be much like the original Toni Simmons, played by Goldie Hawn in Cactus Flower. I assume that the similarity is mainly just functional - she's the one being fooled by the fake marriage story. So the fact that Brooklyn Decker is no Goldie Hawn (inevitable, as GH is unique) wouldn't really matter.

Personally, I've never understood the attitude of regarding a remake as some sort of offense against an earlier version (except in rare cases of actual plagiarism). Certainly the recent The Day the Earth Stood Still is bad, but that has no effect on the classic version except perhaps to make it look even better by comparison. Of course, there are lots of examples like this, but there are even a few in the other direction. Neither Bogart as Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon nor Alistair Sim as the definitive Ebeneezer Scrooge is the original film version. In such rare cases where a later film outshines the earlier one, I'd say we're lucky that someone decided to do a remake.
