    This is an extremely stupid comedy that is not worth watching. She doesn't make you laugh, and the ending is one of the worst in the last 5 years. Wasted time and money

    I think Dan Stevens might be magic?? He can crush comedy in any shade. Isla is LOVELY. They're all lovely. I'd marry and haunt them all.

    Very amusing with great actors!
  • Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
    Entertaining romp of a film, based of story from a long time ago, refreshing change from superheroe films which are good, but change is needed!

    Unnecessary and inferior remake.

    What a poor attempt at reviving an older movie, unfortunately this one is not funny at all!

    Truly a disaster. I read the poor reviews but still gave it a chance due to the cast but it turned out to be a big mistake. Judy Dench was the only one that seemed to actually be trying to create a character while the rest of the cast floundered around like they were in a poor local theater production. The locations and costumes steal the show and are the only polish on this cinematic turd.

    3 stars for me making it through the entire film. Are those stars for me or for the film, though? I'm not sure. I really thought I would like this remake of the 1945 film more than the original which I really loved, but I was mistaken. The sets in this remake were gorgeous for the throwback time period, lots of color, and yet the lighting was all very flat which gave it "The Shining" feel. Maybe that was the intention, when I thought it was to be more a camp comedy in the vein of 1991's "Oscar". The costumes were gorgeous, but the actresses were posed in them mimicking the dramatics of the time, and it falls as flat as the interior lighting. Especially Leslie Mann's performance, whose simpering posturing is annoying, not cutesy, or sex kitten(y), or whatever the director intended her to do. She looks gorgeous, but Fisher is much more natural in her role, and clearly has comedy chops even when the direction is poop. The most disappointing actor to have their go in this comedy(?) is Dame Judi Dench's all-too-serious interpretation of Madame Arcati. Never would I have expected the ghost of Margaret Rutherford to scream at me from beyond the grave, "No Reeeeeemakes! Even if Daaaaame Judi is invooooolved!". Someone get Dame Judi a few classes at UCB, because even Dames need refreshers...
