Jonathan, how could you?
Jonathan, how could you?
I really wanted to like this movie. Jonathan Demme is one of my favorite film makers and I thought if anyone could remake one of my favorite movies of all time, Demme could. Demme couldn't.
Newton and Robbins are ok, Wahlberg doesn't work at all, and the other "evil" characters who were so memorable in Charade come across as interchangeable cyphers.
I usually like Demme's music selection, but here there didn't seem to be any sort of unifying theme behind his music. And, it certainly wasn't Mancini's wonderful score.
But the biggest Truth about Charlie is that...more
Review from ./citypaper.com
An ace soundtrack with quite a nice movie attached, The Truth About Charlie seems less like a remake of Stanley Donen's Charade (1963) than director Jonathan Demme's smart-aleck Coen-brothers response to it.

But Mark Wahlberg as a response to Charade's Cary Grant is a puzzler, unless the point is that Wahlberg isn't 25 years older than his co-star, as Hepburn's dirty-uncle...more

Review from ./filmblather.com
Starring Thandie Newton, Mark Wahlberg, Tim Robbins, Stephen Dillane, Joong-Hoon Park, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Ted Levine, Christine Boisson. Directed by Jonathan Demme. Rated PG-13. Jonathan Demme is a distinguished, consistent filmmaker with an impressively varied collection of credits to his name: from the legendary horror of The Silence of the Lambs to the more populist sentiment of Philadelphia, to Stop Making Sense, perhaps the greatest concert film ever made, Demme's projects are rarely uninteresting and his style is difficult to pin down. With his latest project, the whimsical romance/espionage thriller The Truth About Charlie, Demme veers in the direction of...more
