Reviews Counted:12

Fresh:3

Rotten:9

Average Rating:4.2/10

Consensus: A too-short script and a romance lacking in heat detracts from an otherwise haughty charmer.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for some sexual content and brief drug use.

Runtime: 1 hr 48 mins

Genre: Dramas

Theatrical Release:Jun 26, 2009 Limited

Box Office: $2,643,292

Synopsis: Stephen Frears, director of THE QUEEN and HIGH FIDELITY, continues to demonstrate his genre-defying talent with this adaptation of a Colette novel. Set in Paris in the years before World War I,... Stephen Frears, director of THE QUEEN and HIGH FIDELITY, continues to demonstrate his genre-defying talent with this adaptation of a Colette novel. Set in Paris in the years before World War I, CHERI paints a picture of the romance between young Chéri (Rupert Friend) and retired courtesan Léa (Michelle Pfeiffer). Chéri’s mother (Kathy Bates), a rival of Léa, plots to separate the pair by arranging a marriage between her son and Edmée (Felicity Jones). Screenwriter Christopher Hampton previously collaborated with the director on DANGEROUS LIAISONS. [More]

Frears is in no hurry to tell his story, and bids the audience to enjoy the sensation of glimpsing life from a bygone era.

Cheri has its problems, and given the dubious video presentation on this DVD edition, now it has more.
