THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES

Movie:  The Queen of Versailles
Jan's Rating:  B-
Time:  1 Hour 40 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today about a wealthy family building the largest home in the U.S., when they economy collapses and they lose so much money that they can't afford to finish their dream home, which would have had 19 bathrooms and 30 bedrooms.  They were 50% done with the building, so you never get to see the finished product.  Hopefully, the owner will be able to find the money to finish it, but meanwhile they had to cut their staff down to two nannies.  Darn, don't you hate it when you have to give up your nannies?  Their names are David and Jackie Siegel.  Bonnie went to high school with David in Miami, FL, which is why she wanted to see the movie.  There was one other couple in the theater with us and they thoroughly enjoyed it.  I think it's a good lesson of "don't spend everything you make, save some for a rainy day" because their rainy day arrived and they had no savings.  It is an interesting documentary.
