Just saw it. I thought Nicole Kidman did a fantastic job, and really channeled Lucy. The guy they had play William Frawley was also excellent.

Not so much of a fan of Vivian and Desi.

There's also some inaccurate parts of the film, but most of it was accurate.

I also thought it was great, and I agree about Nicole Kidman-she did a fantastic job as Lucy. Also the guy who played Bill Frawley was also good; but the woman who played Vivian Vance was just ok. I didn't like the guy who played Desi, however.

I thought it was great. Nicole didn't look exactly like Lucy but she absolutely nailed the voice and mannerisms. Despite not looking like Desi at all, I thought Javier Bardem did a decent job with the voice and singing. They both got glowing reviews from Lucie Arnaz.

I agree that there were some inaccuracies, but overall it was a good film.
