"My mother took me to go see this at the Fox Theatre and I fell in love with it (I adore musicals anyway), the music, the plot, the humor, everything was great. That christmas my mother also bought me the DVD. This was the biggest disapointment of my life. The movie followed the play, but it left out so much of the great parts. Most of the awesome songs were replaced by one song about sex. What a waste of good writing. I personally woldn't bother watching this and go see the play itself, its well worth it. " [More]

It takes a lot of risks, which more often than not succeed to great effect. There are times when the set pieces, acting, dialogue, lighting almost melt as the film combines it with Porter's wistful, ruminating music and you can feel the flood of emotion surpassing contextual detail. Borrowing from other films, such as Pennies from Heaven, A Chorus Line, and especially All That Jazz, De-Lovely's music spills over into reality. Performance as artifice is deconstructed. Kevin Kline (as Porter) and Ashley Judd (Porter's wife Linda) are inspired casting choices. Kline can seem self-absorbed without being dull. His desire to be liked makes us forget his compulsive need for attention. H ... " [More]
