Daniel Day Lewis, how i HATE to say this, but you were not the right pick for this role. Even Antonio Banderas would have been better. Marion Cotillard got very little screen time except to look pathetic and sorry, even though she's stunningly beautiful. Penelope Cruz was fantastic as the mistress, but quickly got dissolved into dribble.
The two bright spots - Fergie, who's number "Be Italian" is THE highlight of the movie and what any number of sorry moviegoers will remember. Second only to Kate Hudson, surprisingly really really good as an extremely flirty reporter for Vogue, and her rendition of "Cinema Italiano" has people moving and dancing in their seats.
But that's it, the two highlights. Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, others...sadly misused. There was a good, maybe great, movie in here somewhere, but it didn't make it to the cutting floor. Ugh, here's hoping Rob Marshall does better next time.
