    You look at this all star cast - Rita Wilson, Jeff Goldblum, Peter Gallagher, Paul Sorvino, Michelle Williams, Leslie Mann, Omar Epps, Mariel Hemingway, Mariska Hargitay, Estella Warren, and others - You immediately think stellar, right? Don't, you would be sadly mistaken. Someti...( read more)mes bright stars don't equal blockbusters but bright shining pieces of film crap. Perfume would be one of those.
    Sad and horribly frustrating about this film, was it could have been great.
    Most of it I have found out was unscripted, which could have been brilliant. Unfortunately, the sound mixing was dreadful. The music was too loud and drowned out most of the dialogue half the time. The other half of the time, six people were talking at once and you couldn't understand what one of them was saying, let alone all six.
    This movie split off in too many directions. I am all for multiple characters and story lines. But, You have to develop the characters and make them rich, and the stories actually have to be going some where. In this film, you have 20 undeveloped characters, wandering about aimlessly.
    The ending is nothing short of a cop out if you ask me. It's like they were all scratching their heads saying " Well boys we have pissed away an hour and 44 minutes of these people's lives on this useless, aimless crap. We have no time to really give any of these stories an ending, so lets just call it quits." Absolutely the worst ending to a movie that I have ever seen. Seriously. A note to Hunter Carson and Michael Rymer - The next time you get high and think about directing a movie, just say no.
    Perfume was an absolute waste of time. It gets one star because of the all star cast, and once in awhile you could see some of them trying to polish this turd.

    It was interesting to find out that all the dialogue in this flick is unscripted, but I didn't know that until after I'd seen it. I should give it another shot, the "um"s and "uh"s were really distracting the first time around.

    It smells so delicious.

    Perfume is outstanding for its style and originality -- the only film that comes close would be "City of Lost Children". But this is more accessible, alike Grimm's Faerytales, somehow delightfully enchanting and at the same time darkly macabre. Carefully mix tragedy, innocent rom...( read more)ance, a dash of the medieval drama and fantasy, you have a spellbindingly twisted tale that's definitely not for children.
