Title: Just wretched.
Product review: Persuasion is my favorite Austen novel, so this movie was pure butchery to me. The story, the characters, the charm, all of it was lost in what felt to me like a rushed attempt to make Persuasion-lite. The only reason I watched this movie all the way through is I kept thinking it had to get better, but it just devolved. The only good thing I can say about the film is to agree with everyone who has the sense of sight that Rupert Penry-Jones is a beautiful man, but he is given nothing to do in this movie except stand around looking good with all the expressiveness of a gorgeous stone.
