The Bachelor (1999) *

Directed by Gary Sinyor. With Chris O`Donnell, Renee Zellweger and James Cromwell. O`Donnell plays a confirmed old bachelor who has to get a wife, fast... or loose a 100 million dollars inheritance. It's a remake of Buster Keaton's "Seven Chances" (1925), with some key scenes lifted from another of his comedies, "Cops" (1922). Wildly uneven, the film has only a few genuinely funny moments. Best of all are O`Donnell's eccentric (and often downright psychotic) ex-girlfriends.
