Not so great...

Rating: 3/10 (10 March 2007)

I will tell you upfront, my wife was more interested in seeing this film than I was. However, I am a fan of Kirsten Dunst. However, I am not a fan of this film. We found very few moments of actual 'plot driven' dialog. I felt that most of this movie was spent trying to showcase the wardrobe selection and the architecture from that time period. Otherwise, it doesn't appear to have much more than that to offer.
The good things: this movie does feature a large cast, a fancy and always varying wardrobe, and an eclectic combination of actors. For the first little while of the film you will be blown away with how many people you actually know. One of them that surprised my was Rip Torn.
The bad: Not enough plot, weird music. The soundtrack for this film has a really strange feel to it. It seems almost like you should expect to hear 'Rock Me Amadaues' to begin playing at any time.
Overall, this film was a strange experience for me that left me rather unsatisfied.
