Negative Positive
Title: Sweet as opposed to sexy
Review: Jodie Foster's performances in Little Man Tate, Contact, etc. pushed me to see Anna and the King in the theater, and although I think the military aspect of the movie was not quite feasible and extremeley predictable, I thought the excellent acting, beautiful scenery, and beautiful personal story more than made up for it. (Think of movies like Twister, where the special effects make up for the poor plot-this has much more!) What a breath of fresh air to fall in with the gentle love story of this film after the sexy and uninhibited styles of so many others. This film is excellent...if the action side of it had been better, I would have given it five stars, but as is it still deserves four.
Is the review positive or negative?
