Intense, mature version of The King and I.

It is pleasant, occasionally amusing -- and often dull.

Tennant seems genuinely unsure what mood he's striving for here.

Close, but no cigar.

Serve as a slap in the face.

The third major screen version of the story, has much to recommend it.

A deliberate retelling of 'The King and I' without the musical interludes. 'Anna and the King' is a slow, but ultimately rewarding period drama.

A grand retelling of an iconic story.

Handsome and well-appointed ... but still one of the most boring films in recent memory.

Lush, beautifully shot, but quite draggy.

Nothing special, nothing particularly heartwarming.
