Title: Fun in 18th century Venice
Product review: It is definitely worth seeing this movie for the gorgeous sets alone. The story is pure fun with Heath Ledger as an energetic Casanova, a luminous Sienna Miller as his love interest, and talented Lena Olin as her mother. Oliver Platt is hilarious and touching as a pompous yet insecure Papprizzio. Jeremy Irons as the "Chief Inquisitor" from Rome plays his part to the hilt. Clever writing and several plot twists keep you entertained throughout. Not sure how it got an R rating - only a tiny bedroom scene in the beginning - the rest is definitely PG-13 material. The DVD is a has several great extras including a "Making of...", a detailed look at costuming, and a tour of Venice.
