Chéri (2009)


Still sexy and regal at 51, Michelle Pfeiffer plays a courtesan in waning and in love with the much younger Rupert Friend (Chéri). Pfeiffer fights her age and Friend his arranged marriage in 1920s Paris as their charming love story turns to one of longing.

  1. OK, this might sing weird, but how steamy is this? It *sounds* like it would be quite. But, then again, MP IS 50-something.

  2. Rated R for some sexual content and brief drug use. There is no nudity, except for Friend's butt.

  3. Saw this last night. Was just so-so. I found Pfeiffer to be quite believable, but this was one of those cases where I just didn't find anything redeemable in Cheri. I didn't see what all the fuss was all about, quite honestly.
