Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

SnoopyStyle Regina Lambert (Tandie Newton) returns home to Paris to be told by the police that her new husband Charlie has been killed. She was about to divorce him anyways but discovers that Charlie is not who she thought he was. He had cleaned out everything including the furniture and the $1.8 million proceeds have disappeared. Then she runs into Lewis Bartholamew (Mark Wahlberg) again who she met on her vacation. Commandant Dominique is investigating the case.It's almost a joke to have Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton in the roles once played by Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn. I like Newton but she's no Hepburn. Don't even try to justify Wahlberg for Grant. I'm not a great fan of the original but that leading duo can sell me anything. This leading duo is a poor substitute. No matter how hard director Jonathan Demme tries, I cringe every time Wahlberg shows up.

Simon Ferndriger The actors are really great. The movie has potential, as it really has sometimes its very unique mystic moments.However, the overall story lacks deeply of a catching central theme. In other words - this movie has no substance.The only thing worth mentioning, besides the great actors and also acting of the main characters, are some locations which deliver a certain mystic and interesting ambiance.Sure, this movie could still be a lot worse - but since there lies so much potential in it to really create an awesome memory, this movie simply didn't measure up with my expectations.Maybe it is worth watching once, if you really are into the actors. But if you expect a great journey you will most probably be disappointed.

Justin Watts Okay I understand that there are a lot of die hard 'Charade' fans out there and I can totally sympathize with you. My devotion to Audrey Hepburn is the reason why I put this movie off for so long. I caved a couple of nights ago and found myself watching a throughly entertaining movie. I realized whilst watching the film that I was not watching for a 'Charade' remake but a whole new movie altogether. I understand that the remake thing is getting old now, but that's how all art is formed. Think of the novel; think of how many novel have been modeled and copied Don Quixote, and they were often good novels as well. So I think instead of viewing remakes as simply that; a remake. We should be watching it as an entirely new film that hasn't been made yet.

AlanSquier I've got no love for remakes and don't care who knows it. Sure, there are a number of truly great remakes such as Bogey's The Maltese Falcon (anyone who doesn't know that's the third version of the Hammett novel needs to check it out) and Scorsese's current The Departed.However, as the kids say, most remakes suck and this one sure beats the cake in that department.It's too bad because Thandie Newton is really developing into a great actress and Mark Wahlberg sure is on the upswing, but this atrocity sure as heck doesn't do either of them justice. Putting those two in roles created by Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant is just plain pitiful The biggest deal is the lack of humor. That alone makes this close to unwatchable. It soon becomes a chore to keep watching. The supporting actors sure don't match George Kennedy, James Coburn, and Walter Matthau.Ah, why go on, because older reviews here say it all. This is one hell of a misbegotten mess.
