Product: Becoming Jane [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 4.0
Sweet and funny
This movie was exactly what you'd expect: sweet, funny, and heartbreaking all at once. Anne Hathaway fully embodies the sassy and intelligent Jane Austen. Her saucy banter with co-star James McAvoy recalls the bitting humor present in Austen's novels. The supporting cast does not fail to impress, with Julie Walters and Maggie Smith brilliantly portraying Jane's social-conscious mother and a wealthy neighbor who's nephew seeks to secure Jane's hand in marriage. This movie has all the wit you'd expect from an Austen tribute and the right amount of romance to flutter the hearts of the most avid Austen fans.
