It might be fun to see on an airplane or rent on video.
Top CriticProduction has been lavished with extravagant sets and locations that welcome the audience into a fantasy world of untold luxury.
Crown is a guilt-free pleasure, a way to waste a couple of hours happily at the theater without encountering computer-generated monsters or teenagers losing their virginity.
The Thomas Crown Affair plays as a very grown-up, cynical and slick quasi-thriller, with a couple of hot sex scenes that look as if they're the ones missing from Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.
Elaborate and inventive!
Hhandsome Pierce Brosnan and elegant Rene Russo look fabulous here, but they fail to ignite an exciting on-screen chemistry.
A fine remake for older teens and adults.
In 1999, was there a more suave man on the planet than Pierce Brosnan?
...professional Hollywood movie-making, which means it's at once very impressive and utterly dismissable.
For those who still have a shred of sophistication left, and an appreciation for mind games rather than mere shock-treatment, here's a summer movie for you.
The best thing about "The Thomas Crown Affair" is that it doesn't give a hang if the 14-year-olds show up.
In the game of love, sometimes even the most untrustworthy players can surprise us.
One of the best James Bond films in recent years.
The Thomas Crown Affair is a refreshingly straightforward entertainment film, made with great style.
an exercise in sexual chemistry and fashion
See this movie.
Enjoyable!
If you're gonna remake a classic then this is the way to do it.
This 'Crown,' a smarter and more exciting film than the original, is essentially a two-hour excuse to get this beautiful couple into one compromising position after another...
Russo has finally found a role that enables her to blend her popular brand of vulnerable machisma with a strong dose of natural feminine wiles.
A well constructed melodrama!
A stylish, witty and romantic romp!
Much better than this year's Entrapment, and a great time killer for the above 20 demographic.
