I really want to watch it, but 9% rotten.. what went wrong?!


Jeez.  Must have been a train-wreck. Nicole is usually solid and she does have a resemblance to Grace.  I might give it a try anyway, it's second on Netflix right now so I won't be the only one.

Watching it now but I love bad movies. Grace Kelly was 24 during this time, I can see how people are saying Kidman is a mismatch.

Tim Roth, I think, did a good job though.

I'm watching it now. I thought Grace was in her early 40's in this movie! What a horrible job of casting. Iam certainly laughing now! 24, really?!?

reply

She can't be portraying Grace at 24. The movie starts with them already having children about 6 or 7 years old. I believe this is an early to mid 30's Grace. Still an age Nicole can not do.

It's not as bad as people say. I was expecting a total bomb. It is not that.

Kelly was born in 1929. Making her in her early 30's in the early 1960's. still, I did think Kidman at least 5 years too old for the part.

Nicole Kidman was to old and wrinkled for the role

reply

Only 9% rotten (bad reviews)?! Seriously? If so, that's an amazingly good score of 91% positive!

It's a soap opera movie, but not as bad as you're being lead to believe. Nicole Kidman does fine as Grace Kelly. In her Hollywood years, Kelly was a stiff as well.

I'm about to watch it on Netflix right now. Thought first I'd stop by and see the rating it got here. Surprised to see it rated so low. It'll keep my expectations low, so unless it's a real stinker, I'll probably like it all right.
