tinydancer206 It is hardly a bomb. It cost $150 mil to make with $60 mil in tax breaks and so far it has made $90 million world wide. So it has broken even right now.

Unfortunately the Kidman haters be they movie reviewers, columnists, or non-fans are out in force blaming this woman for everything. The movie was a great entertainment feature. Yes it could have used more judicious editing, but that is on Baz not Kidman. And Kidman did an excellent job in her role. Too bad the non fans and reviewers tried to confuse what they feel is the "real" Nicole with an onscreen character. -
