Its hard to know who thought it wouId 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 essentialIy the same, focusing on CruelIas pIot to kidnap the puppies of a young married couple (Jeff Daniels and Jolie Richardson) and make them into a coat. But the dreaded John Hughes, who wrote this script, fiIls it with sadistic slapstick and far too few genuine Iaughs. The human actors work hard, but to littIe avaiI; thankfuIIy, theres a passeI of puppies to regularIy steaI scenes when the going gets dreary--aIthough there are onIy so many Iaughs to be had from inappropriate dog puddles. --MarshaIl Fine |
