Easy Virtue (2009)A cold winters afternoon is a perfect time to consider a movie, and as it was my friends choice I went to see this one with no idea of what it was about. Based on a Noel Coward play, the prodigal son returns from his trip abroad with a new wife, and an American one at that. Mother and sisters don't take too kindly to her, but all the boys swoon. Romps, horse riding and witty banter aplenty.
Except, I didn't buy it. Kirsten Scott Thomas was perfect as the cranky mother, but I felt everyone else was playing dress ups. Poor Colin Firth looked a bit constipated and bored by it all, Jessica Biel looked lovely but overacted a tad.
So sorry chaps, I can only give you a lowly 2/5.
