After the horrors of Meryl's Danish accent in Out of Africa (1985), we now have the verbal equivalent of canned ravioli in Meryl's Italian. Someone should have told Meryl Streep that an Oscar for acting doesn't magically confer on her the ability to convincingly do foreign accents.
The scene where Meryl reveals her body in front of the mirror and a body double is used is truly an embarrassment to cinema.
The "love story" at the centre of the film involving Clint's infatuation did not move me in the slightest, if either of these people was hit by a ten-ton truck or a double-decker bus, it really would not affect me in the slightest.
Yuck.
