Remember how I talked about wanting to watch "Becoming Jane"? [Click here to refresh your memory.]
Well, I don't recommend watching it at ALL. There was some definite inappropriateness [at the beginning mostly, I think]
Going into it, like I said, I knew the ending wouldn't be a wonderful happy ending but I still watched it. I knew I was asking for disappointment with regards to Jane Austen's relationship with Lefroy [played by the dashing James McAvoy]. Watching Becoming Jane gave me that dread in the pit of my stomach like other times when you know something bad is going to happen but hope against hope for good to happen instead. In the end, the bad thing happens anyway.
Okay, well, that's pretty much it. Here are the good things about the movie [besides the bits of humor that were sprinkled in]: James McAvoy is cute and I loved the costumes!
So...I don't recommend the movie at all. The new Pride & Prejudice is better--no inappropriateness that I can recall AND it had a happy ending [what a concept].

Hi Cat(rina),
I appreciate your movie reviews. Have you seen August Rush? That was the most recent movie we've watched and we liked that one, the music was really good.
