Awful Movie

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2007)

I have studied about that time period quite a bit and I will say that I liked the idea of humanizing her. The movie itself wasn't really bad, but the music ruined the entire thing. I watched it with a few friends and finally the decision was made to simply mute it when they played the music. I also had a group of friends that went to it in the theater and they all had basically the same comments.
I understand the desire to draw a "younger" audience than usually watches a movie of this type. However, I think that by pursuing the lowest common denominator they seemed to not only driving away people that normally like this type of movie, but they are doing it so poorly that they are also killing any desire for people that watching this style of movie for the first time to watch another. Just having her in it, trailers and a good advertising campaign should have been enough.
If you are thinking of watching this I would recommend you watch Vatel, Affair of the Necklace or Dangerous Liaisons instead, you will have a much more enjoyable night!
