I saw the 9.1 stars (38 people) read all the rave reviews and then found out that most of the 10 stars were one review writers on IMDb. The reviews even sounded alike which was my first clue and why I looked. The other reviews seemed honest, so I think I jinxed myself and expected WAY too much of this movie.
First off - it has a lot gratuitous sex in it. I'm not a prude, but tossing in sex scenes on a formulaic schedule, ruins the flow of the thing.
The story is "second verse same as the first". You have seen this before, BUT it was well done by some really good actors.
I added a star for the supporting cast: Joseph Marcell and Nina Wadia. They were, and always are, awesome, no matter what parts they are playing.
Otherwise, 5 stars on a good day. I wish I had read a good book instead.
