it was forced...
I applaud the performances as I love the people they casted (for the most part...) But I feel the acting was forced. This movie completed a huge chunk of the film in ten minutes, when the first one took a more elaborate time with the opening...Annelles entrance into it happened so quick....and the wedding and reception just happened so fast, I feel like the film was rushed..and the dialogue forced...Maybe it is just me. I do like they included certain scenes the first movie left out though...like the birth of the baby in the hospital. I wish we could have experienced that with Julia Roberts...it went from her being just finding out pregnant to the baby being a year old.....aaaaand I wish we could have had more of a story plot with Annelle and Sandy's relationship...see it grow a little more than what we were given...that goes for both films. I know they werent the MAAAAIN characters...but I feel they all shared equal importance of roles....Just saying :) That is all.
Mrs. Lovett you're a bloody wonder!
