Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988)

A remake of Bedtime Story (1964) starring Michael Caine and Steve Martin.

I wasn't crazy about this movie. I thought Michael Caine was very good but Steve Martin's performance did nothing for me. It was unconvincing and uninspired. Brando was much funnier in the role of Freddy Benson. The plot and characters are almost identical to the original. The biggest deviation is the ending. I liked the ending to the remake better but it wasn't enough to make up for the 1.5 hours that preceded it.

I usually don't believe in comparing movies but considering this is a re-make I think it is fair game to compare it in such a manner.
