With all the buildup that this movie had I thought it was going to be the most stylish thing to come out of Hollywood in maybe the last 15 years. I didn't know a damn thing about the Gucci family or legacy, but I figured with the cast and director that it had, it must be worth a look.
Well, not really. Let me just say that there's nothing exceptionally terrible about this movie. The actors do their thing with their respective characters, convincingly enough. The problem I had with the movie overall is that nothing about it jumped out at me or gave me that "Wow" feeling or impact. The movie was a straight shooter, with the creativity and originality being rather low on the spectrum. It seemed like you could fill the same roles with a bunch of no-name actors and still get the same result. The scenery and visuals were nice most of the time, but we're talking Italy, so I would expect some beautiful environments by default. The soundtrack leaves something to be desired, at least in my opinion. I felt that this movie had a real opportunity to do something innovative or spectacular in the music department, but it really didn't. We get some of the cliched Italian operatic pieces (which is great stuff, don't get me wrong) that play during some scenes, but the rest of it was easily forgettable. The plot follows a very linear, rather predictable path, with little to no surprises that catch the viewer off guard.
I must say I had a very weird feeling after seeing this film. Talk about ambiguous. I watched it with a friend, who I went out to dinner with afterward. We talked about the movie and I told her about the strange sensation I had about it that never really happened with any other movie before. This movie pretty much brought my mind to a stalemate, which I'm still conflicted about to this day. Like I said, it's not really good or bad in my opinion. I think that, in the end however, it will leave a lot of people disappointed more than satisfied. It felt like a missed opportunity, more than anything else. It's like a big, colorful, lavishly decorated birthday cake with no taste or flavor.

Somebody was drunk or high when they came up with this one. A completely nonsensical collage and mishmash of random scenes with no solid plot. As immature and stupid as it sounds, the only benefit to being on set for this disaster would've been the beautiful, naked women.
