Easy Virtue Ratings & Reviews
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Echoing the words of the great Porter song, Easy Virtue deliciously misbehaves.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Biel is not completely miscast in this role of the Other in the drawing-room midst, but she exudes a thoroughly contemporary air that never jibes with the Twenties tenor of the English manor-born in the decade after the Great War.
Detroit News
Tom Long
These are good actors telling a good story, so the virtue is indeed easy to grasp, and a fine time should be had by all.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Easy Virtue has all the elements for a sprightly romp with serious underpinnings, and occasionally it achieves that balance. But it's marred by attempts at farce that are as belabored as they are ill-advised.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Jessica Biel gets more publicity for her body and her boyfriend than for her acting ability, but Easy Virtue may be cause for a reassessment.
Washington Post
Dan Zak
What might've been a scrumptious, chocolatey dessert of a movie -- a Noel Coward delite -- is instead a scoop of lemon ice, not filling, faintly sweet and mostly water.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Full of forced jocularity and drawing-room hissy fits, with its cast parading around in vintage threads and antique cars, Easy Virtue is a close-to-insufferable souffle based on the 1925 Noel Coward play.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
The only characters who seem anchored in some form of reality are the hero's parents...all the others, from siblings to servants, are standard-issue eccentrics or the subjects of running gags.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
[Director] Elliott had a choice in Easy Virtue, to turn away from the horror or face it. He takes his time, but he eventually does face it -- and delivers up a good movie.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Elliott nearly turns the whole affair into a musical, with characters singing snatches of Coward and Cole Porter songs. But his sense of humor is extremely broad.
NPR
Bob Mondello
There's supposed to be some distance between the main character and the family she marries into - but that distance probably shouldn't include acting styles.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Those coming in cold may be forgiven for thinking they've wandered into Atonement remade as a farce.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Unusually for a play by Noel Coward, Love struggles while conquering All in Easy Virtue, a subversive view of British country-house society between the wars.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
Jessica Biel in a teacup-rattling '20s period piece? With her lewd pinup grin and husky flat voice, she sticks out like a sore starlet in Easy Virtue -- but that's the whole point in this loosely 'freshened up' version of a Noël Coward play.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Goes down as light and fizzily as a flute of Champagne tossed back in an airy drawing room.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The first Noel Coward play to hit the big screen in more than 40 years, Easy Virtue is a crass, heavy- handed and -- most unfor givably -- largely laugh-free adaptation of The Master's infrequently revived 1924 comic melodrama.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
In its cold-eyed assessment of the English aristocracy Easy Virtue has none of the lurking Anglophilia found in Merchant-Ivory movies.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The elegant barbed wit of Noel Coward bubbling up in a time of Wolverine grunts. I must be dreaming.
DVDTalk.com
Jason Bailey
It's pretty and the costumes look great and all of that. It's just disappointing that it takes so many wrong turns, because it starts out with such wonderful pizzaz.
