Elizabeth Herbig

One of the worst films I’ve ever been forced to sit through. An entire waste of my life and money. Predictable and filled with cliches once again making the bisexual main character, the psychotic villain. It gets one star for the setting. The writers of this repugnant film need deep psychological help.

I love period movies and living in Savannah Ga, I had great hope for this one. Jude Law and Nicole Kidman, whom I love, were beautiful to watch and the saving grace of this disappointing movie. The book adaptation was disjointed, and pitifully predictable( haven’t we all already seen The English Patient) Not to mention the worst southern accents since Kevin Costner in Robin Hood. Beautiful Renee Zelweger was so miscast it made every scene she was in distracting. E for effort in trying to make her look back woods and frumpy but F for big fail . Shame on the writers and directors for giving the audience a dud of a movie with an A+ cast and a great story.
