Thomas Crown has run out of challenges. When an alarm sounds at a a world class museum and someone walks out with a priceless Monet, Crown is the last person the New York police suspect. Who would steal something he could easily afford to buy and why would he?

Russo on the dance floor, rumba-ing seductively with her No. 1 suspect, is a stitch.

Thomas Crown Affair comes across as a pale shadow of the 1968 original.

Russo's decade of sidekick-cupcake roles has never before given her the opportunity to create the kind of believable, engaging genre character she comes up with here.

Whenever the cutesy story or the litany of billionaire toys and pads threaten to knock you out, Russo smiles, disrobes, and laughs like a mule.

Remade with lots of pizzazz but little wit or soul.

In its sneaky and offhanded way, The Thomas Crown Affair is a tribute to the art of stealing beauty.

It's perplexing enough when Hollywood insists on remaking terrific movies. Why remake terrible ones? Perhaps to show that it can be done even worse.
