Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Dreadfully Boring

The first must-see film of the year.

While retaining her secret identity, the illustrious Mrs. Erlynne (Hunt) saves Lady Windemere (Johansson) from making a grand social faux-pas with the scoundrelly Lord Darlington (Moore). A Good Woman will please fans of this kind of films that take place in this certains times with women and their nice dresses and drinking teas and other things like that but for viewers that want to be entertained will not find this film that pleasing to be honest. (0/10)

With Box Office statistic: Opening Weekend: £130,193 (UK) (13 May 2005)Gross: $223,144 (USA) (17 February 2006) It's not a box office movie. Talk about story: the story goes very slow. Dialogue and story is not a strong structure. Seems like the script is way far to perfect. And with a lot of big name actor and actress appeared in the movie, they can do much better than that. Beside the beautiful costume which is can find in many movie so far after this movie, I prefer a lot of other mover would be better with the better script, structure, tell story and better make. It's really disappointed see the way this movie come out, it appeared with Helen Hunt and Scarlett Johansson with a beautiful handbill and vintage costume but very disappoint in the movie as a whole.

While retaining her secret identity, the illustrious Mrs. Erlynne (Hunt) saves Lady Windemere (Johansson) from making a grand social faux-pas with the scoundrelly Lord Darlington (Moore).My expectations were a bit low on this because I am still warming up to Helen Hunt. All those years of "Mad About You" never convinced me, but I am starting to have second thoughts. This film is a notch above her usual stuff.Although I am not familiar with the Oscar Wilde play, I am quite pleased with this adaptation. It is moving, with decent twists and turns. There are also more than a handful of quotable lines, which I presume are Wilde's creations. They come across as timeless.

I thought I would treat myself to two Scarlett Johansson films this morning and I am glad that I did. As lovely as she was in Lost in Translation, she was dazzling in A Good Woman.This film requires that you invest your full attention or you will miss most of the really great gems:"I like America. Name me another society that's gone from barbarism to decadence without bothering to create a civilization in between.""You're so fond of gossip you don't give the truth a chance to put its pants on.""Every man is born truthful and every man dies a liar." "Crying is the refuge of plain women. Pretty women go shopping." Oh, there were so many many more. That was what was so great about this film - aside from staring at Scarlett, of course. I have always liked Helen Hunt, and she played magnificently here. I remember her fondly from "Mad About You." The only other movie I have seen her in was "As Good as it Gets," but I will be looking for "Bobby" to see her again.I won't go into the details of the story as that would spoil it for you, suffice it to say that it makes for a very interesting background to this film about love and morals. It is sweet, funny, tender, and imminently fun.
