I rarely have laughed this much in such an awful film. Randal Wallace (screenwriter of BRAVEHEART) directs this Dumas adaptation and manages the almost impossible: he takes a great book and a great task and makes a deeply flawed film. The dialogues are unintentionally funny. The four musketeers overact badly - which yet again causes many laughs. Leo DiCaprio tries to resist the obvious overacting traps a double role offers - not always successful. And couldn't anyone have insisted on only ONE pronounciation of the name D'Artagnan? Now we hear British, French, and a couple of American versions - by people who are all supposedly French. Well, nevermind. It's a good laugh. Who cares then that it actually is supposed to be a historical action-thriller...
