De-Lovely review

22nd April 2005
I don't know how accurate the film was because I don't know the true story of Cole Porter's life but looking at this purely from how entertaining I found the film I have to give it 5 stars.
The music as ever is brilliant and Kevin Kline in his portrayal of Porter was excellent. I didn't expect to hear Robbie Williams, Natalie Cole and others singing the songs as I hadnt read up on the cast so that came as a surprise; but it was done in such a way that it blended so perfectly with the rest of the film that it added to the experience rather than taking anything away.
I throughly enjoyed the film and will admit to having to reach for the tissues as the curtain came down, and also to watching it again later the same evening and I don't do that with too many films. If you like Porters music and a good old fashioned romance with a difference or two then I cannot recommend this enough - enjoy!!!
