Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman are set to become the new faces of Australian tourism with the release of their latest blockbuster movie, Australia. But will it ?
澳洲对电影《澳大利亚》做了大量宣传，可是它真能live up to the hype?
似乎有个成语能接近地表达这个意思，可我想不起来，请教大家！
Thanks a lot!

: 实至名归的意思不同，是说有了真正的学识、本领或功业，自然就有声誉

名至实归-名高难副
副：相称。指盛名之下，实际难与相符。
《后汉书·黄琼传》：“峣峣者易缺，皦皦者易污，阳春之曲，和者必寡，盛名之下，其实难副。”
《后汉书·黄琼传》：“峣峣者易缺，皦皦者易污，阳春之曲，和者必寡，盛名之下，其实难副。”

如果找不到成语，也就不强求了吧。
而且很多时候中文的成语很难完全反映英文中的意思。

成语中最大的缺点就是没有体现hype的原意。

: This is much better than the above answers. The basic meaning is: "Will the movie be as good as its advertising?"
