One of the greatest compliments that I can pay Iain Softley's new Voodoo-esque thriller The Skeleton Key is that the breathtaking beauty of Kate Hudson is one of the least interesting things in the film. Sure, there are moments of partial nudity, as Hudson meanders around an old mansion in southern Louisiana in VERY short shorts.
