Genre:

Dorian Gray is very handsome -- and very cursed. Young Dorian arrives fresh on the London social scene and is taken under the wing of Lord Henry Wotton who introduces him to the seedy pleasures of London life. When Dorian sees how incredible he looks in a newly painted picture of himself, he swears to do whatever it takes to look as young and handsome in real life as he does in the picture -- forever. His stunning good looks and charm soon attract the celebrity lifestyle and everything that it brings. Dorian finds himself slipping deeper and deeper into a world of sin, sex and celebrity, seemingly without any consequences. But as his actions become increasingly evil, for how long can he hide the secret behind his eternal youth?

Average adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel. Colin Firth and Ben Barnes give solid performances, but the movie's pacing seems all over the place. The movie also seems poorly edited, with scenes just thrown together without any real flow or style. It's watchable and fairly entertaining, but it could have been a lot better.
