Potioncat:
Oh, boy. I was hoping someone else would answer. Where's SSSusan? 
She's a Rickman fan.

The review in the Washington Post said something like, "...if you 
like your wine cold, your Rickman tart and your pickups rusted, this 
is the movie for you." 

I'm glad I went. My husband and I both enjoyed the movie. Although it 
is not a great movie, it's pleasant. You see, for about 18 years now, 
my husband and I are usually taking a child to see the movie and 
recently aged into the PG-13 range. It's not too often we go to a 
grown-up movie for ourselves---and we haven't been too lucky with the 
ones we've chosen. So pleasant is very, very good.

Go see the movie if it's local, or if you're an Alan Rickman fan. If 
it's a real inconvenience to get to, then consider waiting for the 
DVD.

Potioncat, now fully aware of the stress Siskle and Ebert were under!
