It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
