During the last two years of her life, Princess Diana campaigns against the use of land mines and has a secret love affair with a Pakistani heart surgeon.

It's ... a pity that her life is reduced to such a forgettable movie.

The film can't find the woman beneath the facade, despite Watts' best efforts. Maybe she didn't exist. Or maybe there's a better movie to be made.

Not a lot different from whatever movie Katherine Heigl has made lately.

Diana might have been flawed and scheming and love-starved, but this film doesn't help explain that. Nor does it illuminate the common touch and humanitarian side that endeared her to a global audience.
