This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
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.
