FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

Easy Virtue

Rating: 6

Starring: Jessica Biel, Kristin Scott Thomas, Colin Firth, Ben Barnes

Genre: Art/Foreign




Plot: Based on a Noel Coward play with lots of Cole Porter > music in the background. Young scion of wealth marries a > somewhat older vivacious American race car driver (Biel) and brings her home to the family mansion. The mother (Thomas) resents an icy barrier to the homecoming and doesn't give an inch. The father (Firth) is quite a bit more welcoming, however. Things play out to an ending that surprised me. As usual, I failed to pick up some of the mumbling British dialogue. All in all, this was a pretty interesting movie.
