Gambit

[funthing29]

A so-so film. It earns a few chuckles but is not as funny as the advertising makes it appear. The characters lack personality and the tone seems to miss the mark. It is not farcical but neither it is subtle, the jokes and attempts at humour seem quite heavy handed. 5/10.

The few reviews/ratings I've found online so far have been poor. Shame for a great cast and the Coen Bros - you'd expect better.

I really wanted to love this film, but it was a 3/5 for me. Apparently the producer had been trying to get people involved for 15 years and people kept pulling out.

I think the cast are good and the concept is fine, it's just the writing is very middle of the road. Worth seeing the preview on Monday, but maybe not p*ying for when it does come out.

Two things I learned from this: Colin Firth has fine legs and there is such a thing as seeing too much of Alan Rickman... Gambit had a few very good parts I enjoyed a lot (the opening credits and the scenes in the Savoy in particular) but overal it was quite mediocre, which I hadn't expected it to be. It's very short though (and also feels that way), which is good. 7/10

love love love Mr Darcy - looking forward to watching Gambit- even when making a fool of himself on american soil Mr Firth is a smooth operator

saw this tonight and it was a fairly average film, few laughs but nothing really exceptional, also diaz's singing as a texas girl was truly horrendous, i hope to never hear such a thing again

4/10

Average film with some quirky humour you expect from Coen Bros. 6/10

Absolutely painful. What on earth are good actors like Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci doing in this? Especially Stanley Tucci - I will NEVER forgive him for his horribly accented German art critique or whatever he was. Stanley: I AM GERMAN AND I DON'T SOUND LIKE THAT! And shame on Cameron Diaz' equally ridiculously accented Texan cowgirl for patronising him by saying that he "had a very good English for a person from Germany" or some such nonsense. I think a loud-ish "OY!" might have escaped me there. Apart from that the elderly audience around us was much louder, with one particularly loud snort emitted at some point that made entire rows turn around. It wasn't OH for your information, he largely knows how to behave in a cinema!

So so poor, so so unfunny. They tried to be hilarious by creating misunderstandings with Colin Firth in the Savoy and having him climb on the window sill with a Ming vase, losing his trousers and ending up in various hotel rooms. Hilarious - not.

And the twist at the end - so predictable.

5/10

I think Tucci is supposed to be Austrian. From what I've read elsewhere.
I decided not to bother tonight after figuring that a Coen Brothers script written roughly around the time they wrote Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers and only being made now by someone else, is unlikely to be worth the bother. Sounds like I was right.
