...basic idea for the film sounds rather appealing—aging seductress Lady Erlynne (Helen Hunt, “As Good As It Gets”) makes her way down to the Italian Riviera and disrupts the marital bliss of the genteelly tedious Windemeres. Gossip, spying through binoculars, and mistaken identities ensue. It’s a big zany ride through 1930s British society, complete with doddering alcoholic Brits for comic relief.

...Britney & Kevin: Chaotic (UPN). Not that I expected the story of the celebrity horror-pair's courtship to be good, but I deeply hoped it would be so-bad-it's-good. Instead, it was a tedious home movie that made Crossroads look like Citizen Kane, and Nick and Jessica look like the Curies...
