The 1939 Irene Dunne-Charles Boyer romance Love Affair, remade with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr in 1957 as An Affair to Remember, became a vehicle for real-life couple Warren Beatty and Annette Bening... read more read more... in this 1994 rendition. The well-worn story remains the same, as a man and a woman, both engaged to other people, fall madly in love while traveling, indulge in a brief but intense affair, then agree to part and sort out their feelings. They are to meet again at the top of the Empire State Building if their feelings persist, but a series of unfortunate circumstances threatens to keep the lovers apart. Despite polished visuals and a time-tested narrative, this variation suffers in comparison to its two predecessors, not to mention the previous year's Sleepless in Seattle, which had drawn on An Affair to Remember for several of its most memorable sequences. It does features Katherine Hepburn's first film appearance in 13 years. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

    Not as good as Grant/Kerr film.It was alright I guess. I really liked Katharine Hepburn as the grandmother. She was brilent.

    This is a remake of two classics, Love Affair (1939) and An Affair to Remember (1958). This version is the worst of the three versions, but it's not a bad film. Still, it pales compared to the two classic versions. Annette Bening does a good job, but Warren Beatty just doesn't se... read moreem comfortable in the role. It's always good to see Katharine Hepburn.

    "if anything had to happened to one of us why did it have to be you","it was my own fault, i was looking up, i know you were there"

    When will Hollywood learn that movie vehicles in which the two lead actors are romantically involved in real life usually always sputter like an old washing machine? You'd think they would have learned something after Cleopatra, Gigli, Who's that Girl, Shanghai Surpise, Days of T... read morehunder, The Marry Man, Bugsy, etc, etc.

A very romantic, very loyal retelling of the classic love story

Where else can you hear Kate Hepburn say the "F" word?

A tepid remake. Full Review

This is one love affair not worth remembering...tepid and unsure of its slow-witted pacing. It's any wonder that Beatty and Bening didn't hinder their real life relationship with this lovey-dovey tripe

Jeffrey M. Anderson, San Francisco Examiner

Almost redeemed by its beautiful cinematography and Katharine Hepburns' cameo.

Not as bad as rumored, but go for the 1957 or better yet 1939 version.

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

Too slow, both leads seem self-conscious.

Love Affair is unapologetically sappy, but its old-school humility provides a lot of its considerable charm. Full Review
