Relative Values Reviews
It's not Shakespear, but it is a good light watch
I bought this primarily because it has Colin Firth in it. Even though the back of the box says he's the playboy engaged to Jeanne Tripplehorn, he's not. He plays Peter, Lady Marshwood's nephew.
However, His character, Peter is funny. He can convey more with a facial expression than the American actors in the movie. As always, Julie Andrews gives a wonderful performance.
A good light watch for a rainy afternoon!
Frothy? Yes. Fun? You bet!
OK, OK, so it's not "Citizen Kane", but this is a fluffy, sweet little comedy, perfect for a rainy day. I agree with most of the other reviewers that the British Cast (especially Andrews, who is perfect for the role) is great. The Americans (Baldwin & Tripplehorn) are simply awful. I realize the entire premise of the movie would be gone without the Americans, but I enjoyed the film a lot more when they weren't around! But the film breezes along at a nice clip (not like the recent God-awful Robert Altman manor film, which bored me to tears). So put your feet up, grab a martini and enjoy. It really is sad that this kind of movie rarely makes it into the theatres. Brain-dead, illiterate teens are the market the studios go after, and the rest of us yearn for the day when the "Art Theatre" (as opposed to a pimply-faced "Multiplex) returns.
