A Good Woman

Starring: Scarlett Johansson and Helen Hunt

2004

Rating: 3.5

The setting of "A Good Woman" was fantastic. Who doesn't love watching a movie that is set in fashionable Italy during the height of the roaring 20s? The costumes were fantastic. The plot, however, was a bit predictable. But, this could be because I'm a big fan of Oscar Wilde, and loved his plays. (A Good Woman is a play by Oscar Wilde)

While retaining her secret identity, the illustrious Mrs. Erlynne (Hunt) saves Lady Windemere (Johansson) from making a grand social faux-pas with the scoundrel Lord Darlington.

I will say though that when "A Good Woman" was over, I still wanted to know what happened. I felt that there were just a few things left to explain, but nothing so important as to not be able to understand the story.

For a long time I was not a big fan of Scarlett Johansson. But, I can honestly say that she's growing on me...which is more than I can say for Bill Murray. Way more.
