Personally the actors selected ruined ability to watch & in my opinion, made two amazing professionals look less skilled. Itโs the first movie for both I quickly turned off.
They picked famous vs giving someone who actually fits said look/voice. I guess trying to appeal to those who didnโt grow up with Desi & Lucy when they were still active.
Couldnโt get past the Australian accent and prosthetics on Nicole, she looked like cat woman, hiding her gorgeous face - still not looking like Lucy. Javier tried but again, it was like two people joking around pretending vs feeling as if youโre watching Desi & Lucy.
I could list numerous whoโd have fit better, Debra Messing for example.
Honestly, my mother & grandmother could put on a red wig as we look similar to her and act out the parts better.
Iโm sure they spent a fortune for the name, why? Could have just CGI their faces & called it a day, would have felt the characters more.
Iโm all for changing things up with time & adding newโฆwhen they do the role justice. Itโs almost like Kidman never truly studied Lucy or her mannerisms; not the stance, the arm movements, obv the expressions since they were plastic. At least Javier did that. Disappointed.
