Review title: a hokey, amusing version of the scarlet letter
Product review: The Scarlet Letter is pure Hollywood...a sensual love scene between a preacher and an "innocent" waif, an indian fight in the middle of nowhere, and Demi Moore masturbating in a bathtub. The problem here, is that Demi Moore is completely wrong for this part in all ways. She loses the innocence that Hester Prynne had in the book, and changes her into a 19th century slut. She is all wrong for a period piece, and her accent proves it. However, you can't blame a gifted actress like Moore for a movie that is all together sloppy. I'm not going to say, "stick to the book", but this movie is a dud. However, if you do see it once, you might find a certain guilty pleasure amongst all the ludicrous actions that take place within this movie, which is why I give it 2 stars.
