Title: Dreadful Rendition
Product review: Please do not waste your money. The actors are dour, lifeless, and constantly stare into the camera. It quickly becomes annoying. They have pointlessly rearranged dialogue from the book so, for example, Wentworth makes an idiot of himself describing the woman he would marry in front of a crowd of people. Even more annoying at the beginning and the end of the movie they have Anne running marathons through her house and the streets of Bath. Did anyone read the book or even the Cliff Notes to get the point about persuasion? Guess not. For some reason they have taken out all of the wit and insight of Jane Austen and left you with some soggy melodramatic sop. Run, do not walk, to the nearest bookstore and buy the book or, if you want a video, there is a very solid and more faithful rendition from 1995 as mentioned earlier.
