Product: Becoming Jane [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 3.0
It Seemed Like a Good Idea
We both appreciate Jane Austin's works, and generally appreciate British acting and film production; having said that we tried out this film hoping for a pleasant evening's entertainment.It only took about 30 minutes to decide this movie wasn't communicating with us at all. My wife looked at me and asked if I was enjoying the movie and I told her no and I asked if she was and she responded with a no also.The biggest problem we were both having was we were bored by the movie; a contributing factor was a frequent problem understanding their words.The scenery and cast were outstanding with many familiar faces, some of whom are absolute favorites of ours. But for us it simply did not coalesce into a cohesive whole.My recommendation is definitely to view before buying; if the ingredients works for you after viewing then by all means add it to your collection. As for us I just didn't work and we will probably not watch it again.
