All the essentials of a fairytale set in the beautiful Venice (which I repeatedly say I must visit before it sinks although in the case of this movie I largely suspect a fair amount of it was a Hollywood set instead): the fairy-godfather backing the innately good-hearted Casanova, the villian of a man played by Jeremy Irons (who seems to be in alot of Venetian-type roles; think Merchant of Venice haha), the adorable Butler not typically named Percy but Lupo this time, and the lovers who eventually get together played by the stunning English rose Sienna Miller and the most charming late Heath Ledger.
Alot of loose knots in the plot tied up neatly and nicely in the end.
Although so many of my lit texts abound with abstracts, I'm a princess at heart who loves a happy-ever-after. Prince Charming and all :) It's a luxury to indulge your girly side occasionally, taking a break from the fight for the equality of women, haha!
