I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
