The original is of course a classic so as I watched the credits roll and heard the virtually duplicate narrative beginng of the remake I thought to myself, "Why bother?". But I stuck with it and it turned out to be just as charming as the Hepburn/Bogart/Holden 1954 version. Harrison Ford has the Bogie role, Greg Kinear the Holden part, and Julia Ormond is the chauffer's daughter. The remake is sumptuously mounted and beautifully shot with multi-channel music most of the time. The drunk father has been replaced by the boys' mother, played to the hilt by the late Nancy Marchand in a pre-Sorpanos turn (she also played ugly duckling Clara in the original "Marty" teleplay). If you love the original (as I do) this is well worth your time.
Follow Ups:
I din't like the remake at all. I thought there was zero chemistry between the actors, almost like they were just going through the motions. And I normally like Nancy Marchand and Julia Ormond.
In Vino Veritas
Too many films, too little time, Rico. When I'm retired!

One of these days I gotta get myself organizized.
The remake I always felt losed and misses all the charm of Wilder´s film, one of my prefered comedy ever, it has all the charm and act classy all the way through, from Fairchild to Audrey to Holden, the only weak point, but still good enogh was the Wiskey soak Bogard.
Ford is by far worser than his counterpart as for the rest of the crew I better say nothing.
It is only skin and bones.
Still because of the charm of the story I saw it twice ( the remake ) but the second time I felt an overhelming boredom coming over me.
All the spirits gone.
Sydney Pollack directed the remake.
