Casanova
With a reputation for seducing members of the opposite sex, regardless of their marital status, a notorious womanizer discovers a particular Venetian beauty who seems impervious to his charms until he could prove himself to be the one man worthy of her romantic ideals.

A fun, lighthearted, energetic (if insignificant) romp that features fine work from Ledger, Platt and Irons. I was grinning for most of the running time.

There's no edge in Ledger's performance, only a lot of cutesy moments.

The sticky sweet stuff in the middle traps history's greatest lover and slows the whole affair to a crawl.

While not quite as irresistibly seductive as its title character, Casanova is the perfect cinematic one-night stand: charming, romantic and awfully easy on the eyes.

Despite its oh-so deviant title character, Casanova is a harmless bon-bon, a breezy period farce that mimics lesser Shakespeare and a look that recalls Amadeus or Shakespeare in Love.

The whimsical plot, involving Casanova's seduction of a cross-dressing feminist, isn't helped by director Lasse Hallstrom's leaden hand.

A ribald, witty costume comedy filled with delightful performances and wily plot turns, this is the sort of film that makes you wonder why more films like this aren't made.

The irony of [Sienna] Miller co-starring in a film about the world's most notorious lothario aside, there's not much to love about Casanova.
February 22, 2007
One of those smart pictures that transcends genres, a costume romance inspired by Restoration comedy, French farce and vaudevillian slapstick.

Overall, Casanova is silly but amusing.

Casanova is just a farce, true, but there's a smugness to the proceedings that leaves a bad aftertaste.
