The 2003 remake had the potential to be decent - except they gave the role of Harold Hill to the wrong person. While Matthew Broderick is musically talented and was a wonderful Leopold Bloom in The Producers, he had absolutely no charisma in the role of Harold Hill. But then again, any actor would have difficulty filling the shoes of the late, great Robert Preston. 
It's too bad that they didn't cast Craig Bierko or even Eric McCormack in the role, as they were charming Harold Hills in the 2000 Broadway revival, but I suppose they had to go for the biggest name they could find.
