A Good Woman

This should have been a good film. It had a brilliant cast - Helen Hunt, Scarlett Johansson and Tom Wilkinson. The story was excellent as you would expect since it was based on Oscar Wilde's Lady Windermere's Fan. It is a Shakespearian comedy of sorts with misunderstandings and confused relationships causing all manner of trouble. But for some reason it just did not work. Despite the incredible backdrop of the Amalfi Coast, the film is dry, unappealing and turgid. Very disappointing.
