I really enjoyed this movie. Jody Foster and Chow Yun Fat were good and the scenes were beautiful. Not that much action, but a very nice story.

Very good remake of The King and I - from a musical to a drama. Carried by the acting skills of Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat. Much more weight in the script than in the original.

I enjoyed this movie and loved the cinemetography. The story was excellent and engaging. I did find that the romantic overtones were a bit forced and not natural. It was hard to picture Jodie Foster as Anna, actually falling in love with the King. All in all I liked the movie.

I really liked this movie...It was sad, it was funny, and very cute...Despite the movie rateing, this movie is actually apropriate for all children...The only thing that I might be unhappy with as a mother is all of the violence, people getting ther head choped of is not what I want my child to be seeing (at the age of 3 years old), but the movie does give you a fair chance to get your child and cover his or her eyes...Over all this movie is very, very good for the whole family.

My, wife and I, enjoyed the movie for it's viewpoint of seeing the perspective of a mans viewpoint. It was well produced, A little longer then, I cared for. Jodi Foster, played Anna well as did Chow Yun-Fat as the king. The scenery was beautiful aswas the story line.

Very good movie! Really was not sure about renting this movie. Jodie Foster makes as excellent British woman (Excellent!!). Backgrounds were absolutely stunning! My only dislike of the movie, the end dragged on for quite some time, I almost fell asleep. You have to see this movie you will be surprised at how good it is!

Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat were perfect choices for this remake of The King and I. A good remake of the musical. If you have not seen the original, The King and I, you need to.
