And Now Ladies and Gentlemen

I suppose Jeremy Irons’ five remaining fans won’t want to miss this one, but if you’re not in that select group, I can’t really recommend it. Irons plays a jewel thief, and he’s supposed to be a clever con man, but his cons and grifts are so obvious that their success strains the credulity of the film. Meanwhile, a Jazz singer is getting dumped by her boyfriend, and blah blah blah love. I can’t say I made it all the way to the end of this one, so maybe it picks up, but the incredibly trite script didn’t give any indication that it was going anywhere but down.
