AG Mention - Acordion Diaries


It seems as if this person did not enjoy AG that much.

Pretty bad; or maybe not bad enough. Ioan Gruffudd, so adorable as Horatio Hornblower, just looked perplexed as the 18th century English abolitionist William Wilberforce. So far as I could tell, the only woman in the film -- I can't really say this with any certainty because I watched so little of it, but I bet I'm not far off -- is the exquisitely beautiful Romola Farai. She is so clearly telegraphed as the Love Interest that when she and Horatio -- sorry, Ioan -- meet cute, you just want to fall on your knees and beg them to get on with it and not put you through the predictable preliminaries. Meanwhile Albert Finney is pushing a broom around a cathedral wearing some kind of dreadful off-the-shoulder monastic nightgown.
