De-Lovely is a
dramatic musical based on the life of songwriter Cole Porter (Kevin
Kline), someone I'd never heard of but after watching this movie a lot
of those songs were quite familiar.The movie focuses on the
relationship between Cole -- who was mostly homosexual -- and his wife
of many years and whom he loved dearly, Linda (Ashley Judd).
I thought the movie was ok but it was quite boring. I didn't find the
character interesting. The musical numbers were more interesting but
most of them are just a couple of stanzas and the chorus which I hate.
The commentary track was better since they went a bit more into Cole
Porter's life.
