Great camera work, costuming, and undeniable musical talent are wasted in this scatter-brained mess. The opening scenes of promise a story of growth and personal development that the film unequivocally fails to deliver. Lara, the spoiled rotten heiress and 'heroine', is the same entitled brat at the end as she was in the beginning. No lessons learned, no values to appreciate, just unadulterated materialism and selfishness. Not only that, but myriad plot points are picked up and then dropped at will with no rhyme or reason. As soon as the final credits started rolling, I left the theater in disgusted disappointment.
