Shameless......:)))))))))

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2019)

I never give a straight 10 when there is not a good argument for it.
This time there is no good argument. The movie is just not good. The flaws in script, mis-en-scene, acting, singing, casting and production design are abundant to the extent that it would be painful, if not.....
Is it really a problem when Brosnan sings and acts horrible , slow motions are painfully out of place, character development is flat , script-writing is a total mess on all levels......, is that all bad if there is - on the other hand - the absolute joy and fun on the set, which is almost literally splashing off the screen, if the music is **** good, and La Streep is doing IT again in full throttle?
No! Not a problem at all!
The secret of this clumsy vehicle is that by God given coincidence the actors 'believe' their almost paper-flat characters to be honest, trust the emotional stratification of the music and dig into the magic that this film-team accomplished on the set by means of total commitment to joy and Aphrodite herself.
But..... the heart of this this movie is what Bjorn and Benny gave the world......
Bless these men.
I give a straight 10 to this 'Swiss cheese'-script, this shameless emotion-fetishist and this King of Corny-ness.
