Insubstantial bit of fluff, with whores sitting around dishing each other.

These two lovebirds are playfully mismatched, and that's just why they fall for each other.

Un correcto cuadro de época, entre la comedia picaresca y el drama romántico, con sólo una excusa para verlo: el regreso protagónico de Michelle Pfeiffer.

Michelle Pfeiffer is quite good, but the script leaves Kathy Bates -- talented as she is -- with a bit of a cartoonish performance.

It's the kind of refined, delicate acting Pfeiffer does so well, and it's a further reminder of how much we've missed her since she's been away.

Pfeiffer maintains her poise throughout. It's not her performance that limits Chéri, it's the script, which too thin to support the emotional weight it's expected to bear.

Cheri is a serviceable period piece, but not much more.

For a movie that is so steeped in sex and carries an R rating, there's a pretty scant amount of titillating sex.
July 03, 2009
A movie like Cheri needs the time and space of The Age of Innocence. Instead, it's rushed along in an hour and 40 minutes.

Gallic liaisons that aren't especially dangerous - or intriguing.
