critics consensus
Not even Melanie Griffith's charisma can inject fresh energy into this ill-conceived remake, which awkwardly retreads through the classic original's story without any of its charm. Read critic reviews

The verdict on the makeover is not all good news.
January 11, 2008 -
The gin rummy game with Griffith and Goodman instead of Holliday and Crawford is enough to ruin a night out.

Where Holliday was always too sophisticated a butterfly right from the off, Griffith's copycat performance starts dumb -- but then never takes wing.
June 24, 2006 | 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.

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

Jul 13, 2007A 90s rom com starring Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson that's basically a cheap knock off of Pygmalion with a shabby blackmail plot tacked on. As good as it sounds.xGary X Super Reviewer
