Currently showing in the Capitol Cineplex, details (times, etc.) at http/www.whazon.com.
I expected more from this movie, to be honest. Stephen Fry directed and adapted the screenplay from Evelyn Waugh's novel "Vile Bodies". It has wit, style, and wicked satire - but not in enough quantity to keep this movie running for its running time (106 mins).
Still, some great moments and lots of great actors and actresses giving top-notch performances. Also some great cameos, such as Stockard Channing and Simon Callow's delightfully campy scene-stealer with an atrociously hammed-up foreign accent.
Worth seeing ... but wait for video. Especially as it's showing in Screen 6, the smallest and grottiest screen in the Capitol.

P.S. Couldn't find a pic of the movie poster but did find a rather cool one of the novel it's based on
