I love Noel Coward and Judi Dench and have found Dan Stevens appealing, so I rushed off to the drive-in to see the world premiere.
It was bad.
Both the stage and film versions I've seen of this before had me rolling in the aisles, but I laughed twice seeing this film.
The pace was slow and Coward should be fast.
They gave Judi Dench dreary lines and a dreary plotline. Why, when she's such a gifted comedian?
I didn't appreciate the modern touches. The whole thing annoyed me no end.
We watched the trailer for the old movie version and laughed more at it than at this whole movie. We plan to stream the old movie soon.
