Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The 'wit' is leaden and unfunny; the narrative's progress ungainly; the direction stolid.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
9 Feb 2006
fresh:
One conceit of writer-director Stephen Fry is to dramatize parties as knots of chaos, social hurricanes that spill across the landscape this way and that, ruining lives, eating time, preventing progress of any kind.
– Stephen Hunter,
Houston Chronicle,
21 Jul 2005
rotten:
Though Fry's movie has plenty of nasty wit, it lacks the sheer luxurious malice of Waugh's book. Fry is acerbic; Waugh is lethal.
– Eleanor Ringel Gillespie,

fresh:
Suffers from feeling like it's just pretending to be good when it's obviously much, much happier being bad. But when it's bad, it's very, very good.
– Geoff Pevere,

rotten:
If you yearn for a Brit fix, this is your flick. If not, think twice before checking it out.
