Handsome and well-appointed ... but still one of the most boring films in recent memory.

The third major screen version of the story, has much to recommend it.

Serve as a slap in the face.

Intense, mature version of The King and I.

A deliberate retelling of 'The King and I' without the musical interludes. 'Anna and the King' is a slow, but ultimately rewarding period drama.

Lush, beautifully shot, but quite draggy.

A grand retelling of an iconic story.

Nothing special, nothing particularly heartwarming.

It is pleasant, occasionally amusing -- and often dull.
