Preview: Easy Virtue (2009)

Synopsis:

A young British artistocrat marries a flamboyant American who grates on his stiffly-proper family's sensibilities.

• Poster: D+

Review:

There is absolutely nothing thrilling about this poster. While it evokes a time period with its old fashioned lettering, it's hardly an attention grabber.

• Trailer: A-

Review:

Even before the trailer displayed director Stephen Elliott's name, it's clear the film knows its a comedy and promises to be a rip-roaring romp through proper and improper aristocratic behavior.

Oscar Prospects:

I don't think it's going to make it to the end of the year, but Art Direction and Costume Deign are distinct possibilities if the film is any good and critics embrace it at all.

Release Date:

• May 22, 2009
