    Does it contain a spoiler? Don't worry: you need a plot for that, or at least one with an uncertain outcome. Never was an ending of a film more certain than Harry Potter actually surviving to the final scene.

    Stealing Beauty manages to be even more irritating than A Room with a View. If you like to see lots of actors acting posh in various states of semi-undress in the Tuscan hillsides, this is definitely a cheaper option than a eurorail pass. That is really it's main selling point - and as far as it goes it does it well.

    The remaining plot is will she/won't she (as if) and with the baddy or the goody. I won't tell you the ending just in case English is your fourth language and haven't worked it out yet.   0 out of 4 people found this review helpful
