	Movie Reviews by Edwin Jahiel
		"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is the latest exception to the commonly held opinion that movie remakes are never as good as the originals.
		On the contrary, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is most amusing and excellent in its scenario, direction and pacing.
		"Dirty Rotten Dirty Scoundrels" has three scriptwriters, of whom two were the scenarists of "Bedtime Story." This fact alone should normally guarantee a pedestrian remake.

		The plot of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is not as complex as a movie like "The Sting," and we can see some of the surprises as soon as they appear on the horizon.

		Characters break the fourth wall constantly; Gleason's last line in the antic Act I finale is something to the effect that she has checked back in to the hotel because she's sure she'll be needed in Act II.

	Talkin' Broadway Review: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
		Okay, principles are funny things to demand from a show about con artists, but a show of any sort without a guiding set of rules has an uphill struggle in front of it, and "entertain the audience at any cost" is the kind of philosophy that only works these days for Mel Brooks.
		That's what the creators of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels are attempting, and while they succeed roughly half the time, it's the other, unanchored half that makes it hard to fall for this show's particular spiel.
		But as the score is seldom well integrated with the book, the actors' opportunities are limited: Butz's raucous physical comedy and down-and-dirty portrayal energize Freddy, and Gleason overflows with comic charm in her utterly thankless role.

		Written by Paul Henning (the mind behind such TV shows as Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is an uneven but funny mix of Martin's physical comedy and Caine's oily charms.
		Once the wager is on, though, Martin slips into his overly earnest mode as an American military man suffering from hysterical paralysis, with Caine as a psychologist who takes on his case.
		All in all, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (a loose remake of the 1964 film Bedtime Story with David Niven and Marlon Brando) is a droll, intelligent comedy, short on knee slappers but long on comic situations and characterizations.

	Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - Movie Review
		Similarly memorable is when Martin sits in a wheelchair claiming to have no feeling in his legs - only for Caine to pose as a leading doctor who sets about testing his patient's numbness to the limit.
		The plot isn't the best in the world and the twists never far from predictable, but what raises "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" way above the average are the rip-roaring performances of Caine and Martin.
		Heady is also worth a mention for her suitably light-headed showing as the apparent pushover who turns out to have a few tricks up her own sleeve as well.

	Review: 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'
		The new Broadway musical, which has a wonderful cast headed by John Lithgow, Norbert Leo Butz, Sherie Rene Scott and Joanna Gleason, is a giddy, high-octane show that encourages you to ignore its considerable flaws.
		"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" is based on the 1988 movie with Steve Martin and Michael Caine, about a couple of con artists — one elegantly British, the other low-down American — let loose on the French Riviera.
		Lithgow, an extremely agreeable actor who is back on Broadway in a big way, plays the sleek and more than slightly oily Lawrence Jameson, the English half of the team.

	Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, a CurtainUp review
		The fun begins as the de rigueur voiceover announcement sets the tone for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' tongue-in-cheek humor with "there will be no announcement at this performance." The overture doesn't make us wait for the dancing and singing to begin either.
		And though Scoundrels may not have quite the heart of the Full Monty, Yatzbek and Mitchell have invested it with the same freshness and vitality; and director Jack O'Brien (who also directed Hairspray) once again displays his ability to deftly balance sophisticated and broad comedy, romantic and novelty numbers.
		The scoundrels portrayed by Lithgow and Butz aren't quite the fully realized, easy to identify with characters as The Producers' Bialystock and Bloom who also rip off vulnerable women, team up with a sexy blonde bombshell, and inevitably become the duped rather than those doing the duping.

	Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This new collaboration from the creators of "The Full Monty" again demonstrates their gift for transmitting cinematic material to the Broadway musical stage with finesse and fun.
		If "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" -- an adaptation of the 1988 Steve Martin-Michael Caine comedy (itself a remake of the earlier "Bedtime Story") about a pair of con men -- doesn't quite reach the heights of "Monty" in terms of execution or heart, it is entertaining enough that audiences certainly won't feel swindled.
		Butz is Freddy, a younger American upstart who is perfectly happy to fleece $20 from a sympathetic woman.
