Mona Lisa Smile (2003) short review

Kendra May 7, 2003

2003 Mona Lisa Smile

Julia Roberts is only semi-painful as a progressive professor at Wellesley College. Kirsten Dunst, Julia Styles, Maggie Gyllenhal, and Ginnifer Goodwin are all great as the students whose lives she touches.  Nice preppy 1950s costuming on the students and more bohemian styles (“oooo she’s wearing turquoise!”) on Roberts.
