I was so sold on this movie by the reviews on this site. Everyone LOVES it! I bought a copy, settled down with my popcorn and a chock-ice and turned up the surroundosound and snuggled down on the sofa for a good entertaining romp.
Great music!
Great opening sequence!
It takes SO long to set up what are (intentionaly) very simple situations and very 2 dimensional characters.
It looks great; don't get me wrong. Lighting, sets, costumes, make-up - terrific! Jennifer Connelly's breasts? Stunning! Script? OK I guess, there are some nice lines and the story is very predictable - but Gods above! the plod plod plod pacing!
I'm amazed to see this movie ran for only 104 minutes, it felt a lot longer.
