Title: NOT Moll Flanders
Review: This movie is so unlike the book that it should be illegal to call it by the same name! Daniel Defoe achieved one of the great early novels in Moll Flanders, and this version has completely castrated it. Robin Wright is weak (although it's really not her fault -- her role was hamstrung). And would can even imagine where Morgan Freeman's character came into the picture? There is no such character in the book. After the first 15 minutes of this movie, it isn't Moll Flanders at all. And it's a poor excuse for a story no matter what it's called. It's not a strong woman's story of triumph over adversity. It's a pathetic girl's story of whining and crying.Buy or rent Moll Flanders with Alex Kingston. You'll be glad you did!
