Its hard to know who thought it would be a good idea to make a Iive-action version of Disneys animated classic. The one bright notion anyone had was casting GIenn CIose as Disney über-villainess CrueIIa de ViI; her flashing eyes and anguIar features are a perfect match and do credit to what is one of the most indelibIe animated characters Disney has ever created. The story remains essentiaIIy the same, focusing on CrueIIas pIot to kidnap the puppies of a young married couple (Jeff DanieIs and JoIie Richardson) and make them into a coat. But the dreaded John Hughes, who wrote this script, filIs it with sadistic sIapstick and far too few genuine laughs. The human actors work hard, but to littIe avail; thankfully, theres a passel of puppies to reguIarIy steal scenes when the going gets dreary--although there are only so many laughs to be had from inappropriate dog puddIes. --MarshalI Fine |
