An Easy Virtue
The film opens when John Whittaker a good-looking English gentalman meets the fabulous Larita, a an American car racer. They marry there on the spur of the moment, and go back to John’s house so his parents can meet his newly wed wife. The mother isn’t really pleased with John getting married to this lady, because she is American and also a few years older than him. She seems to have some kind of reaction towards her. On the contrary of the father, who since the beginning likes Larita, is it because of her personality, or is it just to annoy his wife?
Larita realizes the game that John's mother is playing and then decides to join her. The Mother will manipulate every single situation to undermine her. Larita will try to remain frustratingly calm and not manipulated. Before they realize Mrs. Whittaker’s manipulation start to work and Larita and John‘s Love is in danger and slowly fades away. Will it last? Will she be able to hold all the pressure till the end?
A brillant adaptation of the movie from Alfred Hitchcock.The storyline is great, it has a nummeros amount of humoristic scenes and its own way of being ridiculous in a good way of some English traditions and the acting was spot on, you wouldnt believe that these situations could actually occur in some families at that time.
We have Jessica Biel as the glamorous and sexy Larita Whittaker, who can hold anything that comes from John’s mother, who is played by the Oscar nominated actress Kristen Scott Thomas. Those two actresses will show us what it means meeting your Mother in Law. After that we have the innocent and caring John Whittaker who in my opinion does a good job but not as good as the rest, because he doesnt have the same experience in acting as the rest of the characters in this movie. We have the recent Oscar winner (for his main role in the Kings speech as George IV) Colin Firth. He will be the only one that since the beginning will like Larita and will be supporting her. His role is mainly to do anything that will piss his wife off.

When my mother told me that I should watch a movie that it’s based during the 1300 hundreds. I thought I would hate it, because I was thinking:” it will for sure be as boring as all the other ones she has recomended to me previously.” But I was wrong, you see the scene where Larita and John are arriving and the family is waiting at the door welcoming them. The Mother then tells to her oldest daughter to smile, she then answer back that she doesn’t really feel like smiling and then her father sorts of mentions to her and says; "You're English so fake it. You burst out laughing, because you can’t believe, that something like that would ever be said out loud." These movies has everything, and trust me you won’t waste your money/time while watching it.
