The beginning of the film is inane enough; indeed, the scenes from Dorothy's early life are rather enjoyable. Temperance, however, gives way to campy overacting once Martin Sheen's "Peter" appears. No matter what kind of phony-French accent he attempts, the character looks like--Martin Sheen. And what is the deal with the screaming prisoner in the open scene, who quietly succumbs to Dorothy after seeing her cross? It just feels so cliche. Oh well, promising start leads to disappointing finished product.
