A film with the soul of a soap-opera

Rating: 5/10 (23 January 1999)

Oh dear - I really wanted to enjoy this film but it had too much wrong with it. Yes, you really feel that you're on a big ship but everything that happens is as phoney as a dream. Would they really let you roam everywhere and stand at the prow? Would the characters be so stereotyped, with the friendly plebs dancing their joyful Irish jig in the basement and the stuffy aristos so hopelessly unable to have a good time? And no, I don't believe the iceberg would have been so big, brash and in-your-face. Watch "A Night To Remember" for how it should be done.
