clunks along fairly well - it has been trimmed in to the story line and so some of the fun is taken out - it should not be so directly apparent that the julianne moore character is an out-and-out blackmailer. minnie driver (diver?) is absolutely spot on - light and tart and witty and the rupert everett character is suitably taken with her, attentive and responsive to her brain power. the idealistic wife and her husband are performed well - but the idealist wife is totally over-the-top sexy hot in bed and i wonder if that would be the case about such a woman - in any case, the heavy hot sex scene is not realy truly oscarwilde - now, ask me if that matters...
