The Bachelor

(New Line)

Gary Sinyor's update of Buster Keaton's Seven Chances finds perennial bachelor Jimmie Shannon (Chris O'Donnell) breaking up with girlfriend Anne (Renée Zellweger), then getting left $100 million by his grandfather (Peter Ustinov) provided he marries within the next 24 hours. Jimmie botches his attempted reconciliation with Anne and is forced to cycle through a tawdry assortment of old flames and money-hungry brides-in-waiting. O'Donnell is passable as the romantic lead; it's the once infallibly cute Zellweger who comes off as rumpled and awkward.
