    Pale Imitation

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jan 2, 2006

    Pros: It's updated and fresh

    Cons: They can't match the original

    This is a remake of the classic "An Affair to Remember" starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. A good try, but it just doesn't compare to the original. Warren Beatty is no Cary Grant--in looks, general appeal, or acting ability. Annette ...Bening is wonderful, but loses some credibility--it's just hard to believe that this beautiful, competent, all together woman would dump urbane and caring Pierce Brosnan to fall for notoriously unfaithful jock Warren Beatty, whose favorite line seems to be "I love to watch you move." A lot of the dialogue and plot follow the original closely, but several changes were made to modernize the story. I kept wondering how they would pull off the last scene, since Beatty's character was now a retired football player and coach, not a painter. The concept that within those 3 months apart (in the original, it was a more beievable 6 months to adjust their lives), he had coincendentally been asked to paint a picture for a New York restaurant and was able to paint Bening in his grandmother's shawl well eough the she recognized it was far-fetched at best. The most moving part in the original came when Cary Grant found the portrait in Kerr's bedroom and realized that she was paralyzed. Watch the emotions that play over his face, and then view Beatty's rendition. There is simply no comparison. IMO, there's also an inside story kind of approach here--we all know that in "real life" Beatty and Bening are married, and I guess the director assumed that this casting would make us believe more in the attraction and deep love developing between these two. I found the attraction between Bening and Michael Douglas in The American President far more believable, and for all I know they may not even like each other in "real life." Read more Less

    Passable Remake plus Hepburn.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 24, 2000

    After SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE reminded everyone of the "original" LOVE AFFAIR, Beatty and Benning decide to do a remake. As a remake it is certainly passable. The cinematography in the South Sea islands is gorgeous and never turn down an excuse to make... a movie with Katharine Hepburn. Certainly she steals the scene when she is on screen in a role that has always been a great cameo for aging actresses, plus she uses the "F" word while discoursing on the sexual activities of birds. No shocks in this world after that one. Hepburn's last theatrical movie but not her last role. Ironic that a woman involved in one of the most private affairs on our time makes a movie with the most public married acting team of today. Read more Less

    Katherine Hepburn, is awesome.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 10, 2000

    I have never fallen in love with an actress as I have with Katherine Hepburn. Although her part in the movie is but a cameo, her presence is undeniable. I have seen the original and the Karr/Grant versions of this movie, but Hepburns part as Ginny c...aptivated my like no other. When I viewed this picture at the theater, especially Hepburn, I knew I had to have a copy. Often I will play just the Hepburn portions of the movie because they move me so. I take nothing away from Beatty or Benning who gave outstanding performances as well, but Hepburn will always be at the top of my all time two best actresses, the other being Bette Davis. Although she will soon be 93 (May 12, 2000) I hope that there will be another opportunity to see such a master at work. Read more Less
