Poor tribute to a poor original

Rating: 4/10 (12 May 2004)

I happened to watch the original a couple of hours before I watched this 'remake' or rather a tribute. The story is not really strongly related to the original's, but for the use of three minis in red blue and white. Besides the fact Charlize looks as cute as ever (I'd sure like her for a birthday present) the film shows uninspired acting, a haphazardly put together storyline and no real turn-ons whatsoever. It's a shame really, the concept of this type of flick has proved to be fruitful on many occasions, of which Ocean's eleven is the best in years imho. Just another meager crime-heroes-flick we could well do without. 4/10
