Read the reviews by professionals and the audience and wonder if we all saw the same feature. I am not familiar with Oscar Wilde’s original work but this version is very witty and very well photographed and acted. The late Tom Wilkinson, one of my favorite actors, here delivers in his small part and gets the girl he desires in the end. Helen Hunt is superb and her character finds the strength as a mother to disregard her financial interests and act with selfishness. In the final scene though, Tuppy with his fortune occupies the seat next to her. Happy ending!

Pretty good movie. Only problem I had was that Helen Hunt's voice is so monotonic. All other cast is superb. Just think she is a terrible actress.

Far and away, one of my favorite movies. (I'll be subjective, but rational, due to the incredulously low tomatometer and audience ratings.) Helen Hunt is consistently flawless in her role; she captivates the viewer as assuredly as her character entices the male characters who colorfully populate the film. Scarlett Johansen? She always performs best when working with a seasoned director, and here she carries her character credibly well throughout. The same can be said of Mark Umber. To literary devotees of Oscar Wilde: this adaptation of "Lady Windermere's Fan" will not disappoint.

A decent period piece about scandals and surprises with a good telling of an older story that I have not experienced before this film. It can be boring but I like the look of the history and the costumes and makeup and hairstyling and ScarJo and Helen Hunt in it.

I can't imagine why this movie got such bad reviews. The cast, script, costumes and scenery were superb. A nice period piece. Highly enjoyable. I always enjoy seeing Scarlett Johansson. She did not disappoint. I'm not a huge Helen Hunt fan, but she was excellent as well. I haven't seen the play it was based on, but as a stand alone it worked for me.

I actually really liked this movie. It was clean, other than a little cleavage and amoral jokes, though not crass jokes. The acting was superb from several of the cast, and I was happy to see Mrs. Erlynne get a happy ending.

It is a comedy/drama, while I enjoyed the film, I never once laughed or found a humerous moment. I love Helen Hunt, she is a lovely actress, and I realize it is easy to critque compared to performing. However in this, she seemed not quite able to find the character meant for this writing.

It took me a long time (and about five tries) to get into this movie (blame it on lack of sleep and distractions), but I'm glad I was finally able to watch the whole thing. Overall it's a beautifully done movie with a great cast. I loved Helen Hunt and this was the first time I'd seen her in a dramatic role. She was amazing and so beautiful. I also loved Scarlett Johansson and she played her role wonderfully. The scenery is breathtaking and unless I missed something, there was absolutely no swearing or nudity, which is a rarity in movies these days. This is based on an Oscar Wilde Play called Lady Windermere's Fan, which I'm curious about. I'm definitely interested in reading it now. But back to the movie-I loved that this is a period piece. Those movies are always intriguing. I admit the movie moved a little slowly but it's worth watching for the twist in the storyline. The ending was really nice as well, although it does leave the twist unfinished.

It's funny, witty, and riveting throughout--not to mention great urban scenes and lovely landscapes. Tom Wilkerson is especially good. Helen Hunt is entrancing.

Who is going to leave Scarlet for Helen Hunt? I respect her confidence and she plays a good role. It's a middle of the road movie.

Johansson is never given much material to work with and comes off a wimpy, two-dimensional character playing the poor-little-rich-girl.. Hunt's character borders on being more realistic, and she does out-act Scarlett. However, why does the gent played by Wikinson fall hopelessly in love with Hunt's character after about five minutes at a Jazz Age party inhabited by the wealthy? The group of aging gents smoking cigars and drinking brandy becomes somewhat boring and tedious, and their dialogue is trite. I think they could have done more with this period piece set in 1930s Amalfi (Italy), especially since we're a few years into the Great Depression yet there appears that no one is suffering any financial setbacks, with lavish Gatsby-like parties and yachts moored in the harbor. The corny into-the-sunset plane scene ending is the stereotype of a happy Hollywood ending. If Oscar Wilde penned most of this, his stature has been diminished by the film adaptation.

The story is at least decent but the film suffers from a bland direction.

I don't know why this got such bad reviews. I loved it! I won't spoil the surprise for you, but it was well acted and written and had twists and turns.

Oscar Wilde is still there, but the drama and romance stirred unevenly in makes for an odd mix. Probably an improvement, for me, but not for the purists.

Loved the witty dialogue and Scarlett's acting was spot on! Good story line with surprise ending.

Brilliant, in the spirit of Oscar Wilde

A delight for the eyes, ears and mind. A beauty, beautifully photographed. Think-producing, wittily encased truisms sprinkled about. Every word counts. Thoroughly enjoyable the look for a good woman.

How this gem escaped our wonderful viewing pleasure after being trapped in nightly 온라인카지노추천 land for years is incredible! Always a fan of Helen Hunt in everything she's done and who would not adore Scarlet J? Put them both in incredible gowns and parade them through the rich portions of the world would be enough. But the plot, acting and surprises, then recalling special moments of vacation days past in those settings ... ooohlala, wish we were there! 7 stars!

In the end , I found it hard to follow the script & came to conclude that it was up to me to belive what I wished about all that was implied. Which was the the truth & the lie covering it & truth behind that lie etc.

Love this modern adaptation version of Oscar Wilde' s short novel, Lady Windermere' s Fan. Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johansson teamed up to deliver good performances!
