Okay, so it might not have been the worst film I've ever seen, but it came awfully close. This tepid remake doesn't even come close to the original starring Steve McQueen. Brosnan can't replace Sean Connery as James Bond, what makes anyone think he can replace McQueen as Thomas Crown? Rene Russo was good, but it just wasn't enough to save the film. And the musical score was really awful. A better word would be annoying. (The Michel Legrand score from the original is classic film music at its absolute best!) So, enough said, if you want to see a classy, sexy film, rent the 1968 original.
No, not just POSSIBLY one of the worst...it IS the worst film of all time. A real stinker. The director ought to be taken out and shot. If you ever get the urge to rent this piece of garbage--if you can even find it anywhere--do yourself a favor and rent something far more watchable, like "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
Okay, so "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" isn't the scariest movie ever made, and it sure isn't the most technically proficient of films, but it is a creepy, spooky, entertaining 80+ minutes. I remember seeing this film when it came out back in 1972 and it's definitely stuck with me all these years. I just watched it again tonight and I'm glad I did. It was fun. So, check your brain at the door, turn off the lights, grab a bucket of popcorn and give this flick a viewing. I think you'll like what you see.
