Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, ). A fun movie. And presumably a very important movie, but I couldn't care less about that sort of thing. Too restrained for the comedy to get more than a few chuckles, and too lighthearted for the suspense and romantic drama to be effective. Marshall doesn't have enough charisma to bring anything special to his role. And any story set among the aristocracy isn't something that's going to hook my interest. I enjoyed it, though.
