Product: Becoming Jane [Blu-ray] (2007)
Rating: 2.0
What would Jane think?
If you are looking for a feel-good romance film, this isn't a bad choice. The kissing, the loving looks, and secret hand-holding all help to make this a beautiful, predictable love story. But I warn you, if you've seen Pride and Prejudice 2005 (with Knightley and McFaden), then you are basically seeing the same story over again here.First, let me clarify that this IS NOT the true story of Jane Austen. I believe that many people have that misconseption. This is a Hollywood film with Anne Hathaway, so how could it be real? Want to know more about Jane? Read about her life in books and on the web. But don't watch this and believe it is true.There are a few objectionable scenes (rearside nudity, a married couple fondling each other in bed, etc.), and I believe that this film almost earned a PG-13 rating. But in the end, I say PG is fine, and it turned out to be a nice love story. I wouldn't watch it again soon, though
