August 22."Cheri" is the story of a young, French man who is bored with his life of nothingness (his mother, Kathy Bates, made enough money as a courtesan that he doesn't need to work). So, he starts a years long affair with another aging courtesan, played by Michelle Pfeiffer. They seem happy and content until his mother decides it's time for him to get married and rips them apart. Not that either fought the end of the relationship.
There's really nothing else to say. This was a bad, bad movie. Good actors wasted on awful characters that don't have any redeeming qualities. Everyone is sad and pathetic. And, the British and American actors all speak with British accents even though they are supposed to be French. What is that? Why don't they speak with French accents? Or! why don't they speak French?
