Title: Jane Austen would object . . .
Product review: Attractive actors, sets, costumes and a great score, but outside of those elements a veritable disappointment! The film does not portray the characters in a way that is consistent with Austen's own depiction. Anne is whiny and timid. Wentworth is inarticulate and, at one point, actually confused to find that he has been flirting with Luisa Musgrove. The Crofts, sensible and smart in other versions, are similarly confused and bland in this one.Austen would never have countenanced a heroine of hers running a marathon around Bath because she can't master her feelings or a pround hero who gives in so easily. . .she might enjoy certain scenes and scenery in the movie but she would not have recognized this film as her own story.
