Garbage!!!

Rating: 1/10 (20 March 2007)

This is one of the most awful films of recent times. First, the good: the photography was beautiful. Now the bad: American actors playing the French? Ugh!!! Audrey Tautou would have been the obvious choice for the lead role. And since when did the French speak English with a Brit accent? Of course, the dialog was so bad, who cares? Now for the ugly: the plot was inane (Marie was NOT a sympathetic character in real life), the acting mediocre, and, really, this movie was a waste of celluloid. Please god, tell these Americans to STOP making bad period-piece films! If you want to see a GOOD American film, go rent "Stranger Than Fiction"-- but don't waste your time and money on trash such as "Marie Antoinette"--Pure garbage!!!
