Wasted

Rating: 1/10 (10 September 2005)

Maybe my hopes of a Jane Austen adaptation are too high. I have seen the trailer and just with that gives a thumbs down. What was the casting director thinking? None, I may say none of the actors match the role. Again maybe my expectations are too high after the last two very much loved adaptations - i.e. Sense & Sensibility and BBCs Pride and Prejudice. Both these adaptions are a marvel and a definite collectors item. This one looks like a made of rTV movie. Funny I even wonder if they shot it in English countryside as most scenes kind of make me feel it is the dry American summer in Carolina. Even Donald Sutherland who is a fine actor no way matches his role. I'm sorry but I'd wait for it to be shown on TV, which I'm sure will be sometime early next year...
