Sorry, this movie sucks
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
