Oh dear, Johnny can make some bad choices. This one isn't so great. It's sort of a confused telling of John Wilmot the Duke of Rochester's (Depp) life--he led a debauched life full of women, alcohol, etc. the way only a poet could only to die an early death and (according to summaries of the film, not the film itself) become renowned postmortem. To the movie's credit (I think), I do want to at least Google the man to see what he was all about.
The movie isn't all that great--watch it if it comes on TV and you don't have much else to do. Meanwhile, can I ask in what world does it make sense that Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx have Oscars, but Johnny doesn't? At least they're nominating him but give it a few years and he'll be competing with Peter O'Toole for never having won one.
