Title: Addio, Ragazza, Per Favore, ADDIO!!!
Product review: This remake merely serves to highlight the talent of Mr. Richard Dreyfuss; he makes it look so effortless when essaying the role of Elliot Garfield. Jeff Daniels seems to be torn between mimicking Dreyfuss and giving up. I vote for Option 2, as he's lost at sea without a compass in this "performance." Imagine a remake of The Godfather with Don Corleone portrayed by Ryan Seacrest and you're starting to get the flavor of this misbegotten misfire. Patricia Heaton was, I must admit (given her television work), surprisingly effective, equal to or better than Marsha Mason in the original. She earns this reviewer's single star awarded. Brava! In the end, all I want is the reason this "remake" was made in the first place, other than the expectation of it turning a profit, however meager.
