Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

The Romberg-Hammerstein operetta with its setting switched from Tsarist Russia to New Orleans in the hope that audiences would identify it with the hugely successful (and remarkably similar) Naughty Marietta as MacDonald's haughty aristocrat falls for Eddy's gallant bondslave (but he's really a French Duke, exiled for his egalitarian beliefs since the year is 1789). The score isn't bad, otherwise the mixture is as before, only stodgier.

    Posted on Jun 16 2009 13:22 Since the first one was a best seller and won the mtv award for best movie of the year, I am 100% sure that all the sequals will be just as good or even better!!!!!!

    Posted on May 19 2009 11:32 I can't wait to see the next movie. Hopefully they get this one right even tho they have a new director. They have the money to make this movie stick to the book, and that is what people are expecting bigtime this year!!!
