The characters here caught my attention mainly because they were pretty decent caricatures. Well, and the fact that they were played by actors who are quite well known. Emma Thompson surprised me a lot here, and I have to admit I would have had a hard time recognizing her if I didn't know it was her. Overall, though, the film leaves me with rather mixed feelings.
