It sings with wit and high camp. The music is infectious...all ala 1920's.
Jessica Biel does quite nicely with her 'thorn in the side' role of the wicked divorcee/race car driver who steals the heart of Ben Barnes' character John Whitakker, son of British country aristocrats, much to his mother's (Kristin Scott Thomas) displeasure. She is a welcome breath of sultry air to his father though, played perfectly by Colin Firth.
My question is why aren't there more movies like this? It's at the Tribeca film Fest now and hopefully will open to wider distribution if well received. Was this review helpful? Sign In 1-1 of 1 Per Page | ||
