Why bother?, 5 December 2004
Author: holly-kendrick from Edinburgh, UK

I've seen this movie on numerous occasions and although it's pleasant it's just not as good as the 1947 original, which is timeless. Maureen O'Hara and John Payne were superb in the lead roles. Richard Attenborough, for my money just wasn't quite Santa-like enough in the remake. Maybe more beard? I don't understand why anyone thought that a remake was a good idea. It's hard to do better than an original which is almost perfect already. The only thing I would say is that young Mara Wilson turned in a better performance than Natalie Wood. Dylan McDermott is also cute and was right for the role in this movie, but to be honest the performance was different but no better than John Payne's in the original. The money spent on making this film could have been better spent on something more original. They were onto a loser from the first.
