Light entertaining romance

Rating: 7/10 (2 December 2005)

I really enjoyed the setting, costumes and actors in this film. The fact that the setting did not seem contrived added to the believability of the film. The atmosphere and landscape were wonderfully captured by the photographer. I admit the lower rating I gave to the film was due to the occasional confusion that took place trying to figure out which of the many characters were being discussed. If the length of the film would have allowed, I would have preferred a slightly longer film in order to fully develop the characters. The occasional tension between some of the characters seemed too short to be believable. Some of the film's outcome was predictable. Perhaps if I had not seen the original film, my criticism would be less.
