I find Kevin Kline quite a fine actor and maybe he even was within this film. I just couldn't' get past how slow the plot moved along. It's the story of songwriter Cole Porter and they couldn't seem to find anything truly interesting to say about him. I like a good biopic, if it lights up some compelling aspect of the guy. Avoid.

I've heard that people love this film. Maybe it's a guy thing, but I found it lame. A bunch of college buddies try to hold on to their past as grown-up life catches up to them. I guess I didn't like how women were a big pain to these guy's thinking. Not big on sexist banter.

Val Kilmer sure looks the part as the defiant singer. Jim Morrison had a hippy dippy spacey air about him and I did believe Kilmer in his portrayal. Too bad they just sorta glossed over his life and didn't really enlighten us of something deep about him. Many people really liked this film, I just ain't one.
