Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Like it
I had already seen this movie on cable. It is a dark, funny movie. Good for when you want to sit with the girls and talk through a movie. Gets the gossip going. Fun!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Cousin Bette
A marvellously interwoven plan of subtle revenge. Beware how you treat your poor relations.Jessica Lange was a supposedly helpful character
but so conniving at the same time, a magnificent performance. Also Bob Hoskins and Hugh Laurie were excellent and Elizabeth Shue played her role to perfection.I couldn't warm to Aden Young, something was lacking.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - A woman scorned
Balzac's novel about jealousy and revenge is set in Paris, in 1846, and concerns Baron Hulot, his daughter, and his deceased wife's cousin, Bette.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very funny movie, along the lines of Valmont
If you like a humorous/tragedy stricken movie, this one is for you. I admit I have to be in a certain kind of mood to watch it. Toby Stephens is sensational, and I think it's an outrageously funny performance by him. My only complaint is I wish he had more screen time. I wish he would take on more comedic roles - set aside the lovey dovey stuff (Jane Eyre) and the bad guy stuff (Die Another Day) and do some more comedy. He's brilliant!
