Nicole does a wonderful job no matter what role she plays. But she cannot match the cool beauty, grace, poise, and refinement of Grace. She was one of a kind. So lovely, cool and elegant.

I agree with Angel - Grace Kelly is in a league of her own.

There are many elements: wind, fire, water
But none quite like the element of surprise

I agree Nichole is wonderful in anything that she does. She was probably the best choice to play Grace but she is not an exact match. Grace was one-of-a-kind.

She looks like Grace. Unfortunately the guy who plays the prince does too. I don't know what their romantic relationship was, but I doubt Grace would have looked twice at him if he was a janitor. She was born in to wealth and she married in to it. I doubt she would know anything else.

Looks like we all agree. Nice try, probably the best the director could find for the part, but still not ideal. The clothes sure are great, though, aren't they?

I think that Naomi Watts would have been a good choice for this too.

Unfortunately, Nicole is way too old to play this part. The period of time this takes place in, Grace Kelly was 26 years old.

Nicole is 46.

It's just not believable.

I would have preferred Charlize Theron ... I've never been a fan of Nicole Kidman.

I know this movie got mixed reviews at Cannes, but you know we're all going to see it for the fashion regardless.
