I’m not terribly into either period pieces or romances, so it’s not surprising that Cheri’s trailer didn’t interest me at all. For those with a stronger appreciation for the genre, however, the allure of all the impressive talent behind the film will probably guarantee a few rentals: it stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates, it’s directed by Stephen Frears (The Queen, High Fidelity), and it’s written by Christopher Hampton (Atonement, Dangerous Liaisons). It sounds like it should be a surefire winner, though the middling critical response suggests otherwise.

Blu-ray? No.Notable Extras: A making of featurette and deleted scenes.
