It's the kind of refined, delicate acting Pfeiffer does so well, and it's a further reminder of how much we've missed her since she's been away.

Pfeiffer maintains her poise throughout. It's not her performance that limits Chéri, it's the script, which too thin to support the emotional weight it's expected to bear.
December 31, 2010
Gallic liaisons that aren't especially dangerous - or intriguing.
August 26, 2011
Insubstantial bit of fluff, with whores sitting around dishing each other.
July 03, 2009
A movie like Cheri needs the time and space of The Age of Innocence. Instead, it's rushed along in an hour and 40 minutes.
June 30, 2009
These two lovebirds are playfully mismatched, and that's just why they fall for each other.
June 26, 2011
For a movie that is so steeped in sex and carries an R rating, there's a pretty scant amount of titillating sex.
June 29, 2009
Michelle Pfeiffer is quite good, but the script leaves Kathy Bates -- talented as she is -- with a bit of a cartoonish performance.
October 07, 2010
Un correcto cuadro de época, entre la comedia picaresca y el drama romántico, con sólo una excusa para verlo: el regreso protagónico de Michelle Pfeiffer.
June 30, 2009
Cheri is a serviceable period piece, but not much more.
