Who’s in it: Stephen Campbell Moore, Emily Mortimer, Fenella Woolgar, Dan Aykroyd
What it’s about: Adam (Moore), at the center of a group of young aristocrats who are followed by the tabloid press, runs with a pack of socialites who embrace every innovation and vice in a breathless attempt to be “modern.” While his increasingly outlandish schemes to raise enough cash to marry his fiance (Mortimer) are constantly thwarted, the party crowd seems to self-destruct, one by one.
Worth watching? *** 1/2
“The movie is about sinful pleasures and the follies of youth, and it’s a ball to watch. [Stephen] Fry, in his writer-directorial debut, achieves a wonderfully light, brisk comic tone.”
