This Jonathan Demme remake of the 1963
Cary Grant movie Charade is getting mixed results from test
screenings that have taken place over in the US. A scooper
by the name of 'Cath' sent in her opinion....
"[the screening] was "The Truth About Charlie"
with Mark Walhberg, Tim Robbins, and the girl from Mission
Impossible 2 (Thandie Newton). It was a rough screening and
afterwards they asked us to fill out some question sheet....
it stays pretty true to the original plot besides obvious
modernisations, directly after seeing the movie I acutally
didn't like it, but after a couple days of it sinking in,
its starting to grow on me. if they take the advice i gave
them on their "survey" , it has the potential to
be a great movie......." Thanks
to 'Cath'.
In contrast, Aint
It Cool posted another analysis of the screening, this
time negative.
"The first problem with this film is that the lead
roles, initially played by Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn,
are portrayed by Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton, respectively.
While Grant and Hepburn had a crackling romantic dynamic,
Wahlberg is woefully miscast, offering a thoroughly leaden
performance for the whole show. From their very first encounter,
Wahlberg's Joshua Peters and Newton's Regina Lambert produce
zero chemistry. There is nothing to engage the viewer, to
lead one to care about either of them, or even believe the
"romance" that is supposed to be growing between
the pair. George Clooney is the only actor who could even
begin to fill Cary Grant's drip-dry suit, and as my friend
noted, he already did that in Out of Sight, which is far more
deserving of the mantle of the modern Charade. Thandie Newton
is fine; that is to say that she does nothing wrong in her
part. It is simply that the material she is presented is relentlessly
devoid of passion, suspense, or tension of any kind. The only
two performances in the film that are truly bad are those
from Mark Wahlberg and Tim Robbins. Robbins, assuming the
role played by Walter Matthau in the original, is awful--his
character is set up as the dramatic and emotional lynchpin
in the climactic scene, and it all comes to naught. Robbins
even apes Matthau's speech patterns, to (unintentional) comedic
effect". Check out the full article at AICN.
