Title: Not Anywhere Near Dickens Quality
Review: The best I can say about this film is that it helps appreciate the genius of Dickens by contrast. While this film shares Dickens' sentiments and causes, it cannot at all approach his greatness as a writer and is poor by comparison. Dickens characters are alive with bright, unique personalities; those in this film are flat. There are wonderful Dickens books on video (many multiple times). Try David Copperfield, The Old Curiousity Shop, Martin Chuzzlewit, Bleak House, Great Expectations, Tale of Two Cities and more. Why have stale bread when moist cake abounds.
