Respectful dissent: poor plot
PostedJanuary 4, 2010

from Oklahoma
The opening of the movie was terrible -- practically a rehash of Cabaret -- especially Judi Dench singing of the Folies Bergere-
it got somewhat better, especially wiith Cotillard as the wife of the director. But who could sympathize with the director? What a whining oinker!
Kate Hudson was good, Nicole Kidman was wasted and did not follow through with her rejection-- the plot is "How I learned to stop smelling and love the Dirtbag-- " Even the wife succumbed to his dubious charms in the end. I feel sorry that Day-Lewis had to endure the script. One high note was Sophia Loren -- she is astounding. Dench was excellent when not singing, and Cotillard was excellent-- hence the two stars. Chicago was light years better.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
