Mildly enjoyable fluff…but why make it?
It is almost impossible to watch this movie, without comparing it to the 1970’s movie. Jeff Daniels does a servicable job in this role, but to my eyes he seems miscast. He is just not desperate or manic enough in this part. Patricia Heaton is actually an upgrade over Marcia Mason in the female lead.

This is just an odd film to remake. The original was not exactly out of date. They did not make any big changes in this version, except very minor mentions of more current events. If you are bored, the source material this comes from is still pretty good. However if you really enjoy this movie, take the time to rent the 1977 version. I promise you will appreciate it being better.

Why was it made ? GREED
Many of the previous posts have asked why this movie was made. I can only think of one reason. Greed, pure and simple. Neil Simon hasn’t exactly had any recent hits and no doubt he got a bundle for the right to use this again. Warner had made the original and as owners of TNT no doubt had little cost in a remake. The original was a smash hit, insuring a massive look-in audience.

The result is a shambles.

Pale, thin, imitation “Goodbye Girl” that should never have seen the light of day (or cathode ray tube).

The performances of Daniels and Heaton are dreadful, or perhaps “capital P , capital U, capital TRID” says it best. Heaton actually give a better performance in her grocery store ads.

There is no emotion, no passion, no energy.

There are many reasons to remake an movie, usually because of limitations imposed on the original due to budget or production methods. There were no such limitations imposed on the original

and therefore no reason for a remake, especially a remake that is essentially 99 pct original dialog.

The classic play “The Front Page” has been remade many times. Love or hate the versions they at least had something new. In “His Girl Friday” they switched genders. In the Jack Lemmon – Walter Matthau version they had a great comedy duo. In “Switching Channels” is was updated to a TV newsroom.

I have no objection to a revival, plays were meant to be performed. Imagine if it was decided that the best performance of a work of Shakespeare was in the 1800s and therefore the play would never be performed again. When you have a classic version of a film, which can be enjoyed by subsequent generations, a remake is unnecessary.

Let’s face it, Richard Dreyfuss won an Oscar for his performance in the original for a very good reason. Marsha Mason, Quinn Cummings, Ray Stark (Producer – Best Picture) and Neil Simon were all nominated for Oscars.

Richard Benjamin, brings nothing new to the table in this production, either as director or in his unnecessarily expanded part as Oliver Frey (Nicol Williamson wasn’t even credited for his part in the original).

In summary, as others have said before, rent the original.
