The results ... are staid, with re-creations of Paris in the Jazz Age and Hollywood in its Golden Age that are like waxworks in motion. Aug 7, 2004

A wildly uneven musical biography of Cole Porter. Jul 22, 2004 | Rating: C+

Porter's songs keep much the film afloat when, otherwise, it would have sunk. No matter how turgid or murky the movie becomes, when the music starts, you're flying. Jul 16, 2004 | Rating: 3/5

More imagination than inquiry, this cautiously reverential tale reaches for aesthetic pleasure and emotion over insight. May 24, 2007

If you ignore the plot and just approach the flick as nothing more than a 21st century update of a Busby Berkeley-style musical, you will not be disappointed. May 23, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
