Yuk. I made the mistake of watching "Walk Don't Run" as a double feature with the original, "The More the Merrier." What a mistake! Perhaps if I'd never seen The More the Merrier, I'd have appreciated Walk Don't Run but, unfortunately, the remake pales in comparison to the original. Charles Coburn was SO much better in the lead role than Cary Grant (I can't believe I'm even saying that, I'm such a huge Cary Grant fan). It is fun seeing Grant poke fun at the fact that he's finally gotten too old to convincingly play the part of the guy who always gets the girl but, other than that joke, the update just doesn't work. Such a shame that this was Grant's last film. I'll just pretend that "Father Goose" was his last film and forget he ever made "Walk Don't Run." Save your money, save your time, and just watch the original.
