...is a real plot and a better actress

This film was way too predictable - my 10 year old was rolling her eyes and begging to turn it off and was batting about 90% on her predictions on what the next scene would be. Firth is fine and so is Jonathan Pryce, but they're not even enough to distract from Bynes'awful performance - if you can call it that. Someone deemed it a "teen" flick - I beg to differ - it would be ok for pre-teens maybe?, I can't imagine any teenager actually sitting thru it. It was just tiresome and silly.

Sad waste of Firth and Pryce. Amanda Bynes' eye-rolling and tripping was old after the first 2 times and just got increasingly irratating after that. Can't say there was anything much redemable about it - it was just really bad and this is coming from a big fan of Firth's.
