Rick D The great Hitchcock whiffs here. And it's hard to really understand why this remake had to be made. It offers very little beyond the original, except a lead couple with Jimmy Stewart, who is way too old to be Doris Day's husband, and really fails to treat her with any respect. Indeed, his Dr. McKenna does one silly thing after another. He refuses to cooperate with authorities, instead thinking it makes sense to go off on an investigation by himself when his son is kidnapped. But he's such a dope he can't tell the difference between the name of a person and the name of a building! Well, the music is good, and Doris Day's performance of 'Que Sera Sera" is legendary. But there just isn't much here to like. The plot is relatively small, which may have worked in Hitchcock's early years, but it's just not enough for a Hollywood production. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Kyle M Without much further advantage, the thrill isn’t amounted by its circumstantially fogged ascendence but rather on the more resonating matter that grapples through intellectually scripted deception more humanely expressive, and captivating performances to muster the facial tension in weighing the personal stakes. Albeit having a flawed focus by comparison, it’s debatably one of Hitchcock’s best by the summed enjoyment level. (B+) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/25/25 Full Review Rachel M. I found it engaging from the start. James Stewart is great playing a character caught by surprise and having to make hard decisions and trust his gut. Doris Day’s character was strong and opinionated. Her voice singing was fantastic, especially at the end—my heart was breaking as she sang while desperate for finding her son. Loved it. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Bob K Occasionally our confidence in a director or filmmaker affects our judgement, our opinions, our reviews. We all have that Director we love, that filmmaker who once blew us away. That is the only possible explanation for the insanely high RT score of this abysmal movie. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Patrick L There is a lot to unpack, but I think Hanks little pants weren’t hemmed and it ruined the movie. It kinda had a lot of fake looking stuff that looked fake. It reminded me of two trains on the same track that are about to hit one another. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Mark B It holds up well. Is the style a bit dated, of course but in a charming way. The suspense is tight and the locations add to the movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
