Enjoyable film after all

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2001)

I wasn't sure I was going to see this film b/c I loved the original Rat Pack version, and b/c critics here in LA were saying it was slow and boring... but I am glad that I saw it after all.
The script/dialog was great. The cast was sharp, funny, beautiful, and impeccably dressed. And, impressively, the story kept me interested to the very end. The soundtrack was excellent too, very well-crafted order and choice of music. Overall, quite an entertaining film.
