Barrymore is terribly attractive and admirable as Danielle and she brings a strength to the role that makes her a wonderful foil to Huston's venom.

Barrymore has the sort of charm that can make you cockeyed with happiness.

A lively sense of humor keeps up the pace when a somewhat lacking romantic chemistry slows it down.

The real magic is found in Andrew Dunn's stunningly lovely photography, which makes every scene look like a vintage storybook illustration.
