Review of The Importance of Being Earnest (2002) by Anne F — 06 Aug 2010

I will say this really had a crazy yet interesting story. It was one of those stories that are all over the place, but comes together at the end for a nice ending. The writers were very clever with it.

Now the cast for me was just ok. They really didn't have me laughing much when they were trying to be funny. Rupert Everett and Colin Firth were the main characters and even though they were interesting in their roles, they just seemed boring at parts.

Frances O'Connor was annoying and high class. So you could say she did a decent job since that is what her character was like. Reese Witherspoon was on the verge of annoying and at points I really wanted her to stop talking.

This film was made to make you think and to add a little comedy in there to keep it interesting. The thinking it passed on and the comedy was near passing, but not as strong as a viewer would want it.
