So
they call the Movie I Dreamed Of Africa. But was it a good
dream or was it a nightmare ? Just like this Movie, a nightmare!
It
is based on a true story of an Italian family in Africa. So
because the family is Italian what nationality of people do
they get to play them ? French and American. Yes, Hollywood
again thinks we won't notice the subtle difference. Fair enough
if they had gotten Italian Americans or Italian French then
fair enough.
Choosing
these two actors as the leads does not work well at all. They
have zero chemistry , and considering the premise of the Movie
is that they meet and fall in love, it makes it all a bit
pointless.
After
Kim Basinger's performance in LA Confidential you may have
looked forward to her performance in this, but no it is pretty
weak and extremely lacking in depth.
If
you enjoy a Movie that is full of beautiful African scenery
then you might enjoy this. On the other hand if you prefer
a good interesting story then don't bother with this.
