On one hand i like the period look of it and dane dehaan is good as usual... i have liked him for years. On the other hand i felt like it was too busy... you had the tulip scenes with everyone in a bidding frenzy... i dont know those seemed hedged in or off somehow. Also zach galifinakis... why does he keep getting so many parts? He can be funny but he doesnt have much to do in this movie. I liked the creative way she finally got away from her husband and also her friendship with the maid... they really needed each other and it came in handy. I liked dame judi dench in the movie... she is always good.

I watched this today b/c of two reasons... mary steenburgen and dudley moore. I have liked both of them for years and as this is the first time i was aware of this movie i had to see how they were together. Well they had good believable chemistry but the problems i did have with the movie was it felt rushed and also the way some scenes would go from one to another with the flip screen effect... guessing that is what it is called seemed like a trick a sitcom would use. I felt like the strongest scenes was when dudley or mary would show their dramatic side... as for the comedy some jokes were better than others. I feel like they did the best with the weak script that was handed to them. Also such a weak title for a movie.
