0.5/4  Neither Becoming Nor Janeish
Definitely one of the worst movies of 2007. This movie failed to capture the essence of Jane Austen and the writer had no respect for Jane's uprightness. It portrayed her as a voyeuristic rebel. Even though I enjoyed Anne Hathaway in The ... (read full)

3/4  An Earnest Effort
I must admit that after watching this movie, I thought that it provided accurate representation of Jane Austen's life. I was so shocked to find out later that pretty much most of it was false. Nonetheless, I did enjoy this picture a lot. I... (read full)

2/4  Becoming Jane Quick Review

If you remotely enjoy Jane Austin's works, this story is sure to please. Anne Hathaway is stunning and believable as Jane Austin. James McAvoy portrays young Jane's love interest and their chemistry is fantastic. Romantic, witty, Sad, funny, passionate - all things that make a great "chick" flick. You'll wish it wouldn't end. One word to the wise - Don't subject your husbands / boyfriends to this movie or you'll never hear the end of it.

A great movie, makes you appreciate Jane Austen and allowed me to also buy Pride and Prej.

3/5 Not bad...

I saw this at the theaters, and it was okay. I don't personally think Anne Hathaway is very pretty. She's DEFINATELY not my favorite actress. but, I do like James MacAvoy. It was a sweetish movie, but Pride and Prejudice is much better...
