She easily stole scenes from Meryl Streep in " The Devil Wears Prada" and Tom Hanks in " Charlie Wilson's War." And, Blunt was absolutely riveting in " My Summer of Love " and " Gideon's Daughter ." Trust me, she is much better than the overrated Michelle Williams ( always depressing ) , Natalie Portman ( stiff ) , Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, ScarJo ( limited ) , and the Playlist favorite Rose Bryne. For some reason , the Hollywood movers & shakers are not giving her the proper opportunities. What a shame !!

I started making a list of inexcusable choices made (even for a sappy film) and lost count by the middle of act two. The 1st act was choking on it's own kitschyness, but at least it moved and seemed somewhat promising. The 2nd and 3rd act confused the hell out of me; it was as if Larry Levinson had a gun to Beaufoy's head and Hallstrom took a nap and gave the reigns to a confused studio CE. Marianelli's score is downright offensive.
