Reviews for Brokedown Palace
Perky print ads for this gravely earnest drama suggest a cosmetics campaign and, ironically enough, end up painting a more accurate picture of what the film is really like.

Far messier and more corrupt than the society it attempts to portray.
01/01/00
...trite, implausible, and annoying.
04/07/01
A glossy Hollywoodization of a serious subject that is as far from the bright lights of Hollywood as could possibly be.
01/01/00
Offensively stupid.

about as thrilling as a long line at customs. The screenplay (is)apparently based on those recorded warnings played in airports... Danes and Beckinsale struggle to bring some conviction to a story sorely in need of it.

Teenage girls whine and pout in prison. Not as fun as it sounds.
