cute and witty is the best way i can describe it. very much like in the vein of importance of beng earnest...its all about the witty situations and escalating conflicts between estranged characters...great cast led by julie andrews. william baldwin and jeanne tripplehorn were perfect as the superficial hollywoodites totally out of place in the posh uppercrest of english country. supporting casts were great with stephen fry and mousey sophie thompson.

Love it! Fluffy, charming, funny. The play must be just as amusing. My love for Julie Andrews will never die.

The lightweight comedy remains undemanding, but offers some droll Brit humor that might satisfy the Anglophiles.
