Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz in a scene from 'A Perfect Plan (Gambit)'.
Colin Firth (Harry Deane), Cameron Diaz (PJ Puznowski), Alan Rickman (Lionel Shahbandar), Stanley Tucci (Martin Zaidenweber), Tom Courtenay (Wingate) and Togo Igawa (Takagawa), lead the cast of 'A Perfect Plan (Gambit)', the new comedy by Michael Hoffman, which has been scripted by Ethan Coen and Joel Coen; based on the short stories by Sidney Carroll.
"A perfect plan (Gambit)", new version of "Thief for love (1966)", tells the story of an art curator (Colin Firth) who hires a Texas woman (Cameron Diaz) to pose as the granddaughter of a man who had a Monet painting in his possession. Of course, the painting is a fake, as the curator wants to sell it to a wealthy collector.
As the critic Almudena Muñoz says, 'A Perfect Plan (Gambit)' is an American-hearted comedy and English cover, which sustains its humor in the squeak between the American and the European, with slapstick blinks and a constant tone of tenderness disguised as frivolity. Without a doubt a very accurate description.
With 'A perfect plan (Gambit)' the Coen brothers make a crazy, entertaining and funny story, which ensures a pleasant time at the expense of well-intentioned mockery of English clichés under the American prism. It is seen.
