... but had no idea how bad an experience it would be for me. My wife even hated it. I know we are so in the minority but i just couldn't find anything I liked about it at all. The songs are peerless, admittedly but they were badly performed, especially brosnan, jees. The jokes were corny in the extreme. The story was nonsense and the song lyrics, however hard they tried to shoehorn them clearly did not fit around the story.

The bit when Streep (possibly the only spark of light) was singing The Winner Takes it All, a song about divorce, and brosnan was trying to look back sincerely at her made my toes curl. I have seen lots of films which shouldn't work but did. This one, for me, shouldn't and didn't beyond my lowest expectations

Anyway Dave, if we all agreed there would be no point in a forum. Glad you got your moneys worth. In fact it sounds like you got my moneys worth too ;^)

In order to prevent me descending into grumpy old man territory, yes, the scenery was beautiful !
