Negative Positive
Title: Very disappointing
Review: Jody Foster was just so terribly miscast in this. Apparently she thought acting this role was pursing up her mouth all the time. Instead of sticking to the story they threw in battles which, of course, Ms Foster helps to win. The whole thing was ridiculous. She never unbends from her starchiness at all and it gets very tiring and boring. I guess they thought a handsome king and gorgeous dresses would satisfy everybody. I read the book many years ago, have seen the original 40s movie many times and, of course, The King and I many times. This version is pathetic.
