The Truth About Charlie

if you rent the DVD then the original movie charade should be in there save your time and watch the charade. The truth about Charlie was a poor directed and even poorly acted. Thandie Newton was the only true talent in... Full review

The 2002 remake of Charade (starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn) was certainly an improvement upon the original. For one, little nuances in the first film make it less believable, like when the thieves go to the funeral, poking pins into... Full review

pointless and dull. The plot makes no sense and the spectators have no interest in what will happen. Acting is extremely bad. Thandie Newton is perhaps the worst actress in business: remeber that she singlehandedly ruined MI2.... Full review

I now know the reason that people get Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon confused, cause they definitely looked so much alike. But that aside, the movie was lacking what the original (Charade) did so well. The original was very good at... Full review

The jerky camera movements (no doubt to make the film edgy) are irritating nauseating at times. Mark Wahlberg is woefully miscast as Joshua Peters - the Cary Grant character whose personality needs nuance and style. ... Full Review

Presumably, Demme was trying to recapture something of the "screwball" quality he brought to Something Wild , but it's a cataclysmic failure. ... Full Review

The Truth About Charlie" digs a bit deeper into character back stories (including poor dead Charlie) than "Charade," and Demme deliberately tries to enhance the suspenseful twists established in the original film, often through visual and editorial techniques borrowed from the French New Wave films of his youth. ...

The Truth About Charlie is that it's a terribly lousy movie. And it's not exactly like Jonathan Demme was phoning his direction in; The Truth About Charlie is the type of bad film that only a truly gifted filmmaker could create. ... Full Review

A generation of lauded directors is MIA in Hollywood. After the impersonal studio clunkers "Manchurian Candidate" and "The Truth About Charlie," Demme, inspired by "Napoleon Dynamite" and his enjoyment of shooting low-budget music docs, went indie with "Rachel," which Sony... ... Full Article
