An average movie

Even though Irwin Winkler is mostly known as a producer, for Martin Scorsese for example, he has actually directed a few movies. Nothing really amazing but some of them were rather interesting so I thought I should check this one out as well. The other reason why I wanted to watch this flick is that it was starring the very talented and always charming Ashley Judd. Unfortunately, I can't say I really enjoyed this movie. I mean, before watching this, I wasn't really familiar with Cole Porter's music and that it was rather interesting to discover it but the movie was just rather tedious to watch. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm not a big fan of Kevin Kline. I mean, I know he is actually a good actor but I always find him rather annoying when he plays this kind of excentric characters. Eventually, I probably didn't really like it because they tried to make it some kind of whimsical biography but, honestly, I was just bored during the whole thing. To conclude, I didn't like it but, maybe I wasn't the right audience for this, anyway, I don't think it is really worth a look, expect maybe if you are a die-hard fan of Cole Porter.
