If you like to watch slide shows of different types of shoes and cake, then this is the movie for you!

Rating: 4/10 (16 November 2006)

Quite frankly, it was horrible. I give it score of four out of ten. The movie is about the life of Marie Antoinette, but there's a slight problem: she had no life. When a large portion of the two hour movie is a slideshow of different types of shoes, you begin to wonder why you're wasting your time watching it. I want those two hours of my life back. The only somewhat exciting part of the story, the French Revolution in which Marie is killed, was completely left out of the movie. The movie was historically accurate, and very "artistic" but it dragged on and on and on and left me just waiting for the movie to die. Don't worry about spoilers - nothing happens in this movie so there's nothing to give away.
Here's a basic plot outline of the main events in the story:
First Marie Antoinette eats cake inside. Then Marie Antoinette eats cake outside. Then Marie Antoinette eats cake on a boat. Then Marie Antoinette rides in a carriage. THE END.
And that lasted for two hours. And to make things worse, they played corny 70s disco and polka music almost the whole time, music that did not fit the mood or story at all.
This is probably the only movie I've ever seen where I actually felt bad for the producers after seeing it. They sank hundreds of millions of dollars and years of time into it, and got nothing. I would be very surprised if they made even a little bit of profit off this movie. This movie threw hundreds of millions of dollars down the drain when they could have been spending the money producing a good movie that would make a profit. It is indeed a very catastrophic and unfortunate blow to the movie industry, and the companies that made the poor decision to waste their funds on producing this film will take years to recover from the loss.
