100Supple, eloquent and enchanting.
-
80This intelligent, breezy romantic comedy sings a love song to theater. Plus, there's a hunky lug and Mira Sorvino in drag.
-
60Indeed, a triumph of love: love of performance, love of joy, and, above all else, love of love itself.

38Sorvino can't pass for a man, but that's beyond the point in this rarefied situation. She's beautiful and she can usually act, but here the only convincing thing she projects is fatigue from running around the garden all day.
