An Ideal Husband (1999)
When an old school rival shows up with a damaging secret against you husband...well, Kat put it well: hijinks ensue. All of the leads were great, though Rupert Everett has still not managed to convince me that he's straight. Ever. It's interesting that they put Cate Blanchett and Minnie Driver, as the sympathetic characters, in beautiful dresses, while they put Julianne Moore, the bad guy, in horrid ill-fitting clothes. Her costumes are still befitting for a lady of the time period - they just aren't pretty like the others. It's a subtle distinction, but one that definitely enhances the sides in the movie. Jeremy Northam is adorable, but I spent a lot of time trying to figure out who he reminded me of. It's David Wenham, in case you were curious.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
