The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
