Questions about this film...


I heard somehwere that the characters "break into songs".
Does that mean that it's a bit of a musical piece?

Also, does anyone know aproximatly when it will be out on DVD in the UK?
How much time do DVDs come out after the cinema showing there?

The film isn't a musical but one of the characters does sing from time to time- usually along with a song that's playing in the background. Hope that clears it up!

Oh, it does, thank you!
Do you know which characters sing in the movie?

To my knowledge both Jessica Biel and Ben Barnes sing in the movie (as seen in the trailer), don't know about the other characters.

Ben Barnes often replies to Jessica Biel's character in the form of lines from Cole Porter songs. The director has taken a chance that this will work. (I don't think it does.)

I agree -- the singing (though there's only a little of it) is distracting. I LOATHE musicals and was very put off when Ben broke into song for the first time. I was so relieved that he only sang a line or two each time.

I actually enjoyed the singing and the music - I thought it added to the feeling of the period.

Totally agree, and even though musicals are great, it was good that the singing parts in this movie were v. limited.

Loved Ben Barnes' opening scene where he's in the car with Jessican Biel and he's singing haha that was hot.

The Region 2 DVD release is set for 16 March 2009. It is available for pre-order at Amazon UK

DVDs, for the most part, come out between 3 & 4 months of the theatrical release. There are always exceptions ie: The movie really bombs and it is in theaters for short time so they get the DVD out, the movie goes right to DVD or, the movie is a huge hit (Dark Knight, Mamma Mia!) and in theaters so long they delay the DVD.
