... as I pointed out below, a room full of folks at our housewarming party were enthralled with our screening of The Illusionist, actually rising in applause. No one would disagree that there are a few problems one could nit-pick, but it's a fine period romantic movie that would be a great date flick, ...unless you're dating someone like Abby from NCIS (grin). Note: It makes me wonder what you'd recommend as a good romantic "date" film though.

Perhaps that's because Jennifer Biel is just too HOT for ya (sorry, couldn't resist)! ;^)

IMHO, Jennifer was VERY convincing in this role; not cardboard by a long shot. Sorry you didn't like her acting, but I thought she was quite believable and attractive as the female romantic lead.

Your opinion is shared by few others who've seen the film, which is no illusion. - Audiophilander 23:08:36 03/03/07 (3)
