I can't understand why anyone would spend the money on a trendy actress who can't even credibly pronounce French. Did the director not even hear her saying MON sieur? And men saying "O.K."? Lead actress can't pronounce Rouen? Why not change it to another city she CAN pronounce? You've changed enough IMPORTANT things in this story! This is a casting disaster, screenplay disaster, everything but sets/scenery and costume disaster.
What a disappointment! I loved this book. Why adapt it to a film if you're going to disregard nearly everything that made it a classic book?
If I had paid to see this I might have asked for my money back on the basis of misrepresentation. Hated to even give it one star, but that's not an option. But reading the gushing praise from the magazine reviewers flabbergasted me.
