"A good woman", an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windemere's Fan" is a sweetly charming , inoffensive little movie that makes for a great afternoon's entertainment. Helen Hunt, Scarlett Johanssen and Tom Wilkinson headline, and except for Scarlett (predictably) don't disappoint. Helen Hunt takes on a completely different role to what she usually does and, in my view, excels as an embittered, cynical woman ready for a change of lifestyle. Tom Wilkinson steals every scene he's in and makes for a delicious Tuppy. Scarlett, however, is woefully miscast as the innocent newly-wed and reads her lines as if from cue-cards. A strong British contingent co-stars and excels, the script filled with Wilde witticisms and the cinematography is beautiful.
