This movie comes from several directions, but fails in almost all of them. It is a period film, showing us how people were at that time. OK, I can see some clothes, some specific behaviours, some cars, but that's about it; there is nothing that brings novelty or interest. Then there is the romantic side. Seasoned sex partners fall in love and then, faced with the choice of losing their image or losing their infatuation, they oscillate between, making the characters human, but the plot really boring. And then there is the Michelle Pfeiffer angle, but she is truly too old for it.
Bottom line: Dangerous Liaisons did all that this film tried to and a lot better. It actually worked enough for a high school remake. This one is plain boring.
