What is all the hype about?

Rating: 3/10 (10 January 2006)

I was flabbergasted in seeing this movie. There was good buzz - nominations for Scarlett! - but what a disappointment. The worst scenes in the movie either Scarlett or Jonathan in the shots, and the unwatchable scenes had only them; that scene in the café was one of the worst I have seen in years. The story line was so predictable - haven't we seen this over and over? The only reason I give this a three and not a one is the supporting cast. Emily Mortimer and her whole family were excellent, but particularly Emily. The scene in the opera box at the beginning of the film is an indicator of what a great actress she is. Scarlett cannot hold a candle to her, but Scarlett is blonde and wears tight clothing (in the rain, no less) to accentuate her boobs, and low and behold a Golden Globe nomination? Sad; Emily should have had that nomination.
