I do love the Art Deco style of this poster but I can't say I enjoyed the movie that much. It's based on a Tennessee Williams play, which should tell you everything you need to know right there. For those of you who didn't have to suffer through The Glass Menagerie in high school, that means it's Southern and depressing.Fisher Willow (Bryce Dallas Howard) is a spoiled heiress looking to stay in the good graces of her very rich aunt (Ann-Margaret) by attending all the debutante balls. Fisher chooses good-looking but poor Jimmy (Chris Evans) to accompany her as a small rebellion. Jimmy is very wary of Fisher's motives as well as the social chasm between them and matters come to a head at a Halloween party when Fisher loses a $10,000 diamond earring.
Unless you really love all things Tennessee Williams, the roaring 20's, or the petty dramas of social etiquette, I'd say give this one a miss. It's pretty enough but under that surface lurks a well of boredom and depression.
