EW's GRADE

Details Rated: PG; Genres: Comedy, Drama; With: Josie Lawrence, Joan Plowright and Miranda Richardson

ENCHANTED APRIL (PG) Rose (Miranda Richardson) and Lotte (Josie Lawrence), two middle-class Londoners, take a vacation from their overbearing husbands by renting a majestic Italian villa. Joining them are Mrs. Fisher (Joan Plowright), a poker-faced dowager, and Lady Caroline (Polly Walker), a beautiful, upper-crust flapper. Before long, the women smile, relax, let their hair down. Enchanted April is perfectly pleasant, but it's also second-rate-a tasteful spectacle of middlebrow feel-goodism. B-
