It's so over the top as to become completely ridiculous by the second half-hour. The storytelling was incredibly ham-handed, and the acting is sub-par. I kind of get the feeling the director dropped the ball in not trying to reel in Alan Rickman's apparently natural sense for high drama—he has a BILLOWING CAPE, for Christ's sake! However, if you go into the movie without high expectations, it's hilarious. It also made me curious about whether or not the perfume-making techniques shown in the film are accurate; if so, then interesting. Based on the premise, I might still like to read the book.
