Unusual, but not nearly as funny as it tried to be!

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2015)

I really looked forward to seeing this Movie as it has had numerous good reviews, and nominations for Awards. It did prove a disappointment to me, in that the "humorous" bits mainly turned out to be unfunny, and the slapstick situations had me looking for Inspector Clouseau to appear. The photography was excellent, and a joy to look at. Unfortunately, the most enjoyment I had was looking for the stars as they appeared in cameo parts, such as Edward Norton, F. Murray Abraham and Jude Law, etc. All in all , I fail to see how it was nominated in the Best Picture Category for the Oscars, when there were a number (despite the volume of films that were nominated) that were overlooked.
