    They're all fools

    Golly, what a silly movie! But it somehow makes you want to find out what happens. Told in flashbacks, some of which are told in further flashbacks, it gets all a little weird, and none of the characters are 100% likeable, though you do feel a little for Kate. Harry is the fool of the title, and Moura, the "princess", is a bit of an idiot herself. The ending kind of just happens too - you're traveling along nicely when suddenly bang, bold statement, the end. Even 2 minutes longer would have helped a little. 6/10
