the basic story idea of enchanted april be excellent two very unhappy wife meet and decide to pool their fund to rent an italian villa for a month . to further defray cost and they get two other stranger to come along . what make it interest be the relationship both before and during this vacation in particular and show how this beautiful set actually change their outlook on life . unfortunately and this good idea be totally spoil by two key performance in the ensemble cast that be so bad that they ruin the film . ann harding play the most important role in the film in a manner that make her seem ridiculous . her doe eyed expression and vacant stare really make you wonder if this isn not a zombie movie or she just mean to be an idiot . and to make it bad and reginald owen play a character so obnoxious and bombastic that i be very close to turn off the film he be that awful and unbelievable . i notice that at least one reviewer give this movie a 10 which be very and very difficult to understand . sure and the film have great ambiance and a good plot and but these two glaringly silly performance can not be overlook a they undermine the rest of the picture . sorry and but this film be ache for a re make .
