Lacking Imagination - Copying Beethoven review by DJ
I could not do much better than Phillip French's very amusing review in the Guardian when this was first released - he effortlessly tears this to pieces, and his sarcasm is well deserved. The film is trite, contrived, cliche-ridden and smug. It's mildly amusing and quite pretty; the acting is not quite hammy; the plot is pedestrian and predictable. Most ironically: the film makes a great deal of Beethoven's deafness and the way it impairs his quality of life but, er, the DVD has no subtitles. Lacking imagination, indeed!
