Great costumes and sets but a VERY thin story.
18 February 2004
We waited and waited for something to happen in this film. Finally fast forwarding to the end brought some relief. The first 90% of the film is like a big costume party. While the period clothes and settings depicted the Roaring Twenties beautifully, and the acting was fine, there was far too much chit chat. The film could have been done in less than 30 minutes but to stretch it out so long was painful.

If you are into fine sets and costumes, or a fan of Joanna Lumley, or want a trip back to the Charleston era, then see this film. Otherwise, pass it up.
