Review title: Just a bad movie pretending to be good
Product review: I purchased the DVD expecting to watch a great movie given that the subject was composed of many characters in Jane Austen's novels. I admire her as a writer and have enjoyed her books, even though I am not a "chick" and realize that they cater more to women. Still she is one of the greatest English novelists. However, despite the subject the movie turned out to be just plain bad: awful screenplay and bad direction. It has no beginning, middle and end. The characters never develop, the plot is extremely convoluted and shallow, and when I reached half the movie I simply didn't care what happened to any of them. Pity because the cast was great, but they had a pitiful screenplay to work with. Even great actors cannot save a movie when they have to work with material that does not even reach the limited standards of a high school production. So my advice is: skip the movie and go back to enjoying her books again.
