The results ... are staid, with re-creations of Paris in the Jazz Age and Hollywood in its Golden Age that are like waxworks in motion.

A wildly uneven musical biography of Cole Porter.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh
Porter's songs keep much the film afloat when, otherwise, it would have sunk. No matter how turgid or murky the movie becomes, when the music starts, you're flying.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
Not inept enough to make the composer spin in his grave ... but not insightful or clever enough to please the old boy, either.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

Entertaining. With more than 30 Cole Porter songs and an accomplished cast, how can it not be?
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
