Reviews
So much average
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
