2,000 hamsters can't be wrong.

De-Xquisite! 

Went to see a sneak preview of De-Lovely earlier today. This story about Cole Porter is filled with his songs neatly interwoven with the tale of his real-life experiences. Laughed quite a lot during the first half, but as we delved deeper into his life, especially his love life, I sort of lost the will to laugh. I started disliking this person that I've never even met. In the end I realised it was a very sad film indeed, and I loved it. Was humming to Let's Fall in Love all the way home, though.

Kevin Kline was his usual self - can I just say I must be getting very familiar with his acting skills, as I had a feeling I had seen it all before...but as I just checked his filmography and realised I've seen 21 of his films, most of them more than once because I probably own most of them, this isn't too unbelievable. Sidetrack: OMG, they're making a prequel to the Pink Panther films? It's going to be horrid! And Kevin Kline was on Parky last night? Why didn't I know this? Of course, since I don't get BBC that would probably have made me even more annoyed. I'll just look forward to seeing it in about...ten months' time. :-(

Anyway, back to the film. Lots of good actors there, for instance Kevin McNally and Jonathan Pryce, some semi-favourites of mine. Even Ashley Judd was good! I may have to start liking her. The music was brilliant and there were a lot of currently popular singers featured in the film. I'd say you'll like this film if you're 1) into musicals, and/or 2) gay and/or 3) a fan of any of the actors.
