Movie Reviews of The Truth About Charlie (including with original movie 'Charade')
Movie Review: Actors Play it Over The Top
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed this movie so much that I watched it twice. Because of the over-the-top campy acting I can see where many people wouldn't enjoy it. The acting isn't bad ... it's just campy. Tim Robbins is an excellent actor and I really enjoyed Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton (their acting is very different in this movie). Much better than watching car chase after car chase in all those nonsensical movies made today not to mention the bawdy comedy that is so bad that I cannot understand why anyone would watch it.
Loved the music, the camera movement and just everything in general. My husband wouldn't enjoy this movie at all but that's what makes the world go 'round!
Summary of The Truth About Charlie (including with original movie 'Charade')
Remake of the 1963 romantic thriller charade a widow is chased around paris by many suitors all after one thing. She knows where her crooked dead husband hid all of his illegal cash. Its all a game until one man sees her for more than her money.Dvd bonus includes original 1963 movie Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 04/12/2005 Starring: Mark Wahlberg Tim Robbins Run time: 105 minutes Rating: R Director: Jonathan DemmeIt seems blasphemous to remake Stanley Donen's classic romantic thriller Charade, but The Truth About Charlie achieves its own unique identity. Rather than mimic the inimitable chemistry of the original, director Jonathan Demme takes a vividly contemporary approach, with Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton well cast in roles originated by Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. The plot's essentially the same, kicking into high gear when Newton--the unwitting courier of a priceless treasure--is chased around Paris by her murdered husband's military cohorts, an avuncular embassy official (Tim Robbins), and a suave stranger (Wahlberg) whose true identity remains elusive. In a film filled with twists and turns, Demme fails to find a consistent tone of humor, romance, and danger. But he's crafted a peculiar Parisian valentine, seasoned with Gallic cameos (singer Charles Aznavour, Anna Karina, director Agn?s Varda) and vibrantly alive with music, style, and forward momentum. Charade it's not, but that's not necessarily a complaint. --Jeff Shannon
