Nice effects though.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
