Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Attains a rarified air of fantasy that may not be wholly uncalculated, but with Cruz at its center is certainly watchable.

fresh:
A romantic fairy tale that's light and in several ways seductive, if not exactly filling. Still, there's always something enticing for the eye.
