You'd send your date to this film?
Why and where would you be?
It doesn't even make a good job with the only female character who is so cardboard I am surprised she is allowed that close to the flames when she goes on stage. Her character seems to only be there so that the Illusionist has some reason for getting at the Prince, whose own obsession with unmasking the tricks seems more than perverse.

Sorry dave, but you're apparently in the minority here; if you disliked the film fine, but... - Audiophilander 22:39:08 03/05/07 (1)
... 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.

  ... in out tastes or there's be a queue!
  I didn't find the film as ridiculous as some I've seen recently, but to me it was wooden at best.
  A date movie?
  From the past year...
  Little Miss Sunshine?
  The New World?
  To be honest I don't have much grasp on the concept as I don't remember the last time I went on a date to a film... oh maybe Tristan And Isolde.
