Movie Review by B Movie Ben
March 12th, 2007

Woman or Man seeks Man or Woman?

I like strong women. Maybe i am weird in that way. George Sand was a
strong woman. She knew what she wanted and she was willing to wait
until she found it. In the meantime, she took a man's name, she dressed
like a man, she smoked and cussed like a man, and she didn't call her
lovers the next day either. That didn't keep them from running back
panting and that made this movie hilarious.

I had never seen Judy Davis before. She was in two movies last year
(The Break-up and Marie Antoinette), but I'v not seen either one. She
was magnificent in her role as George Sand. I think I use the word
magnificent too much, so let's say she was stupendous and tremendous.

Then she found him. The one she was waiting for. She knew the moment
she heard his music. he could talk to angels. He was Frederic Chopin,
and he was definitely not interested. No matter she plowed ahead,
despite the interference of her best friend (Bernadette Peters)and
...well, I won't tell you if she succeeded as that would spoil it
wouldn't it.

With Hugh Grant, Mandy Patinkin and Emma Thompson helping Peters
support Davis, this film had all one could wish for. It was an
enjoyable romp through the countryside, funny, and a charming love
story.
