Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Pretty Good
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I have watched this movie several times and it amazes me every time. When I first watched it I didn't know it was a remake, but still I love this version more than the previous ones. The story revolves around two people (Warren and Annette) who crossed their paths while on a flight. they had emergency landing on an island where she meets his aunt (Katharine Hepburn). on a flight back, they have agreed to meet again after 3 months if they still like/love each other.This movie has the total charm. Warren and Annette played their roles with charms, I find them cute and fantastic. I love the scene with Katharine Hepburn, and I think the end scene of this version is more powerful compared in the other versions. The way Annette and Warren delivered their lines are more beautiful and realistic and somehow I think I'm seeing them real. Warren is cute, Annette is perfect, Katharine is indescribable. The background music has a great effect too, it leaves a beautiful feeling to the listener/viewer. You can't just forget it.Well, I don't to want to compare it more with the over versions. I go for this one solid, no matter what because I love watching them move! :)I gave it 10/10.
People that know the 2 movies "An Affair To Remember" and the re-make before this one also called "Love Affair",pretty much know what the movie is about and what to expect. After viewing it all, I can honestly say that this re-make was not really necessary. I'm not saying it suffers the same fate of Striesand's remake of "A Star Is Born" (also a third go-round) but for all intentional purposes,it's just okay and a bit bland. I know Beatty is a good actor and so is Annette but there's not a whole lot of dramatic feeling in their parts for my taste. Even after her character is hurt and can't walk,you just don't feel that sense of urgency about these two. Which makes it very hard to care what happens to them. I was far more moved by Aunt Ginny's passing than anything else. Speaking of her :Like many have stated here though,Katharine Hepburn's brief appearance more than makes up for it. Her part really should have been written so she could at least have been in the film for an hour.I also wish she hadn't been made to use a certain 4 letter word also,totally unnecessary and cheap low brow humor. In all,it's okay to watch if you've nothing better in your collection or to rent, It is worth it for Hepburn,as is almost anything Hepburn ever made. Six stars,for simply a watchable enough film and of course,because it was Kate's last theatrical movie-screen appearance. She was always the bright spot in any film,good or bad. (END)
What's not to like. I love this movie and I am amazed at how many people still have not seen it. I have teenager girls and I instead that they both "An Affair to Remember" as well as "Love Affair" both are classics in my book. It has always been a good story and sometimes the producers and directors fail miserably when attempting a remake. But not in this case. Excellent job. You know, there are just those times when the casting is perfect. I will be coordinating a talent show with toddlers and teens this Fall and would love to locate the song which the children sign language to. I know it is by the Beattles (John Lennon) and is titled "I Will". I just can't seem to find a MP3 file on it. Please help. At this point, I would even settle for the sheet music. Thanks in advance for all your help and comments.
Warren Beatty is not as dreamily handsome as Cary Grant but Beatty is such a skilled actor that his portrayal of Mike Gambril got through the poignancy of the dilemma of a man at the crossroads. Anette Bening was quite good too, especially in avoiding extreme sentimentality. For those who hate tear-jerker movies, this remake of "An Affair to Remember" would be the one to see.The song in the two versions are different, and the viewer would have a better appreciation for the similarities and differences if the composer, lyrics, and a sound clip of each song were included in the info.
