……and survived, while positively identifying it as a definite chick flick.
My wife went with me to see “Rambo” and I went with her to see this.
She sort of enjoyed watching Sylvester Stallone blow up Burma and, since I was there, I had fun watching Frances McDormand and the ensemble cast in this flick.
The Link
This movie recreates London in 1939 and lavish period and art deco set decoration, plus jazzy music from such as Cole Porter and Johnny Mercer, were nicely realized in this sweetly comedic drama/romance.
It covers one single day in the life of a failed, homeless, unemployed and unfed English governess, who starts out a bit like Eliza Doolittle and just twenty-four adventurous hours later has made her presence felt by many and has new prospects herself.
This film almost had the vibe of a Broadway musical or at least, I thought, almost the vibe of a Broadway musical that had been made into a movie.
I say “almost” because while there was only a little singing and dancing, I kept feeling the cast might break into musical conversations or even production numbers rather than sticking to spoken dialogue.
In fact, the previous film that this movie made me flash on the most, as I hinted above, was “My Fair Lady,” except that here no one was singing that often.
I mostly liked it; Frances McDormand, the rest of the cast and the overall presentation were quite good, but I would never have chosen to see this film.
However, my wife said “yes” to Rambo and “please” to this, so there it was.
I’m not trying to warn unsuspecting guys about this movie, because very, very few men will wander in or go on purpose alone.
But there was half of a full house in the theater with us and about half of those people were men accompanying a female.
Everybody around us laughed at the funny parts, everybody stayed and I think most folks left entertained.
I think men over the age of sixty or so might like this movie best and those men who are enough secure in their maleness to take their woman should find enough benefit, either during the show or after, to make it worth their while.
Ladies of any age, if your man won’t take you, just go with your mother, your daughter or a girl friend.
I think my fair lady enjoyed me going with her as much or even more than she liked the movie itself.
