The character of the maid in the painting, Griet, is played by the beautiful Scarlett Johansson, and the painter is played by Colin Firth. The romance drama is about how a reclusive painter took a liking in his new maid, and got inspired to paint her for his sole client, a rich aristocrat in his town.  It is slow paced, and shows how the painter developed some level of affection for the maid, and how she grew fond of her master too, but they never got intimate. She was more like his muse for the masterpiece he went on to create when he decided to paint her.

This movie is a fun movie, not so romantic per se. There are so many different characters...numerous funny characters, all revolving around the the main guy and girl. It also has very nice, and well timed cameos by big shots like Zoe Saldana, and Mark Derwen. If you want to kick back and just watch something light, you can get this. I would give this movie a 6.5 out of 10 in rating. Oh, and there are a lot of boobies all over the place...Be warned. lol!
