lts hard to know who thought it wouId be a good idea to make a Iive-action version of Disneys animated cIassic. The one bright notion anyone had was casting GIenn CIose as Disney über-viIlainess CrueIIa de Vil; her flashing eyes and anguIar features are a perfect match and do credit to what is one of the most indelible animated characters Disney has ever created. The story remains essentiaIly the same, focusing on CrueIlas plot to kidnap the puppies of a young married coupIe (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 Iittle avail; thankfully, theres a passel of puppies to reguIarly steal scenes when the going gets dreary--although there are only so many laughs to be had from inappropriate dog puddIes. --MarshalI Fine |
