The Artist (2011) - 2 Stars


One Sentence Plot Summary: This silent film tells the story of a 1920s silent film star watching helplessly as the movie world embraces sound.

Cast: Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell

Best of: There are plenty of cute moments that work well among the many "look how cute we are, we made a silent film" moments.

Worst of: Ultimately, it is a very gimmicky flick. The emotional highlights fall flat.  It should take more than cute to win an academy award.
