Unbelievably bad

Rating: 2/10 (17 January 2006)

I very nearly walked out of this film, it was that bad. I haven't seen many of Woody's recent films, but I'd been fooled by some of the reviews saying it was a renaissance. It isn't. The dialogue is laughable from beginning to end - English people don't talk like this, in fact nobody talks like this. It was a badly scripted version of a soap opera. Woody has obviously not spent any time in England talking to real people - even the upper classes don't talk in the contrived, awkward way the characters do here. The ending, which I'm not going to give away, was enormously implausible.
An enormous disappointment, avoid at all costs.
