 1.5/4 |
Griffith almost makes it watchable. She is as charismatic a camera presence as ever, but her magic is mostly muted in this flat retread. Full Review |

|
The verdict on the makeover is not all good news. Full Review |

|
|
The gin rummy game with Griffith and Goodman instead of Holliday and Crawford is enough to ruin a night out. Full Review |
||
|
|
Where Holliday was always too sophisticated a butterfly right from the off, Griffith's copycat performance starts dumb -- but then never takes wing. Full Review |

|
1/4 |
In this pointless remake, essaying the Judy Holliday Oscar-winning role, Melanie Griffith gives a poor performance, marked by monotonous delivery and tiresome semi-spunky routines. Full Review |

There is a fatal disconnection between place and characters who, conceived in one era, are crazily transported into another in which they don't quite fit. Full Review |

To the growing list of unnecessary movies, add this remake of the Garson Kanin comedy. Full Review |

There are some good laughs and fans of the stars certainly won't be disappointed. Full Review |
||
|
|
There's no sense of screwball mayhem in the picture, no topsy-turvy brightness. Full Review |
||
|
|
In old Hollywood, style could make up for a lack of substance, but this remake is without either. Full Review |
||
|
1.5/4 |
There's little (if anything) to recommend this movie. Full Review |

|
1/4 |
This is supposed to be snappy material, and it comes across gloomy. Full Review |
