    yeh, it's kinda alright. it aint boring anyway. one of those feel good features. dench and smith are well... seasoned actresses and it's really needless to say how great they are... as they're sure to be in anything at all. the most engaging character was the fat old maid played by miriam margolyes. it's basic and obvious at times but has its charm

    An absolute delight from start to finish. Charming, elegant and engrossing. Careful and smartly written and superbly directed by the actor Charles Dance and filled with wonderful music and magnificent, subtle acting. The joy of watching Judy Dench and Maggie Smith, one of cinema's greatest dames, perform their charming duet for nearly two hours makes the film even more fun and worthwhile.

    Polish guy= talented. Dames Maggie Smith and Judi Dench= epic. Great acting all around, considering this was a hard-to-follow emotion film. I didn't quite understand what everyone was feeling about everyone else, which made it annoying, but it stars two spectacular British actresses.
