Chick flick. Duh.BECOMING JANE is a fictional account of Jane Austen's romantic life. It's a guess as to what real life events may have affected her fiction writing.
Over all, I thought the movie was interesting and I loved the costumes. Anne Hathaway was wonderful as Jane. I could watch that actress all day long. Those gorgeous big brown eyes, those curvy lips. That flawless skin.
Yes, I'm a wee bit envious. She got to kiss James McAvoy. He's a doll. I thought he was one of the best parts of THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE as Mr. Tumnus. Cute, cute, cute. They were perfect together.
Honestly, though, I couldn't help but be disappointed. I guess I expected a movie about Jane Austen would be at least as good as those movies based on her books. The most recent PRIDE AND PREJUDICE remake is one of my all time favorite movies. Loved EMMA too.
Also, the idea that a writer must experience what she's writing about is plain silly.
Anyone else see this movie? What did you think?
