The Remake
Overview
Sheridan O'Connor and Riccardo Rossi were destined to meet on the set of their first big movie together when barely out of their teens. What they didn't know was that their on-screen chemistry would translate into a hot and heavy off-screen romance destined only for disaster. Now, living continents apart and a lifetime later, expecting their paths never to cross again, they are thrown back together to star in an updated version of their original film. The studio has high hopes that they will be able to attract the same audience who loved them the first time around. But working together again could demand greater acting skills than either ever imagined: long hours filming awkward romantic scenes, reliving the past and coming face to face with what fate has in store for them. Only slightly shaken and gently stirred by family and friends, Sheridan and Riccardo must find a way to make the perfect martini out of life so as not to waste a single drop of happiness.

Tagline:
Review: Dreadful vanity production written and directed by and starring some woman I never heard of. Her co-star is some guy I never heard of. Terrible actors. Plot has two middle-aged has-beens reuniting for a movie remake of something they made in 1979 when they were teenagers. Ya right. Try 40 or 50 years ago. The woman is a vengeful snot who’s never forgiven him for leaving her at the altar after the cops apparently dragged him away for being an illegal alien and deported him back to Italy. Oh? Her Italian looking daughter daughter (ahem) is getting married. If only her WASP daddy (ahem) hadn’t died before he could see her get married. Huh? She already has a kid. No matter. As soon as you get the set up you know where it’s going. The leads couldn’t act their way out of a paper bag. Intro this drek step Patrika Darbo as the woman’s sister, Sally Kellerman as Aunt Peg, and June Lockhart as the grandmother. Bravo to 90+ Miss Lockhart for breathing some life and acting skills into this morass. She only has a few scenes but you’ll be grateful for them if you make it that far into this one. Whoever did the sound and the music track should have their union cards revoked. Half the dialog can’t be heard because of terrible sound and terrible music. Oh well, considering how bad the dialog is, maybe that’s a blessing.
