Good moments, but not enough
PostedDecember 26, 2009

from New York, NY
Daniel Day Lewis, the classic "method" actor, steps into the role of Guido with a lot of energy, but lacking focus. We meet his charachter, a lusty Italian movie director, in the midst of a psychological crisis. Unable to deliver the movie which could be his comeback and seeking inspiration, he reminices and romances a variety of women, each getting her musical moment. Surprisingly, the most impressive number comes from Kate Hudson in a 60's go-go uptempo, "Cinema Italiano". She handles the dance moves with ease, belts like a pro and delivers her trademark spunk. Less impresive is Nicole Kidman, in a small, uninspired "muse" role. Penelope Cruz, playing Guiudo's mistress, although stunningly beautiful, comes off more sleazy than sexy.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
