Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Sean P. Means (2,056) for Salt Lake Tribune (1,927) on 09 Aug 2007

If only Jane's fictional life had half the wit as what she put on the page…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 08 Aug 2007

A smart and well-acted drama that is a refreshing change of pace from this summer's overblown blockbusters…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Joanne Kaufman (79) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 08 Aug 2007

Austen comes off here more as stenographer than writer. Worse, the movie has Tom Lefroy as her condescending guide…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Duane Dudek (861) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 08 Aug 2007

An evocative portrait of an artistic temperament in defiance of propriety and of how, when such things are repressed, passion and personality…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Boo Allen (301) for Denton Record-Chronicle (383) on 08 Aug 2007

Empty, empty-headed, anf full of cliches. Don't expect Austen brilliance from this pedestrian film…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Ian Grey (27) for Orlando Weekly (1,048) on 08 Aug 2007

The film's notion of Austen's great works being nothing loftier than the result of failed puppy love suggests the filmmakers perversely believe…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Matt Brunson (2,422) for Creative Loafing (2,337) on 07 Aug 2007

An agreeable period romp, missing the spark of the high-end Austen adaptations but firmly in command of its own romantic devices…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By David Ansen (1,073) for Newsweek (1,534) on 06 Aug 2007

As the proud, independent young author, Hathaway is both subdued and alluring--it's her most mature performance…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 05 Aug 2007

more 'chick flick' than recent Oscar-nom'ed Austen adaptations, but it's cut from more or less the same cloth, albeit less durable…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 05 Aug 2007

If one were to fuse the literary sensibility of Jane Austen with the fanciful imaginative license of Shakespeare in Love, what would emerge…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Anthony Lane (1,079) for New Yorker (1,403) on 05 Aug 2007

Once you admit that the Jane Austen depicted onscreen bears scant relation to any person named Jane Austen, living or dead, the film fulfills…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Camerin Courtney (35) for Christianity Today (953) on 03 Aug 2007

One can only hope that Becoming Jane will inspire moviegoers to find out more about this beloved literary great…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 03 Aug 2007

drops the ball almost immediately by emphasizing some seriously hackneyed plot twists and an overall atmosphere of predictability…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Maitland Mcdonagh (2,150) for TV Guide (1,527) on 02 Aug 2007

Jane Austen deserves better than to be subordinated to her own creation, the spirited Lizzy Bennet…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 02 Aug 2007

[McAvoy] and Hathaway simply aren't given much to do together, and they have two long hours to do it in…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 02 Aug 2007

The movie has an immense charm that sneaks up on you. Ultimately, it's a delicate ode to love and honor -- and to writing and reading…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Mick Lasalle (3,303) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 02 Aug 2007

Its weaknesses are clumsy plotting and a less-than-satisfying ending…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Pam Grady (384) for Reel.com (1,232) on 02 Aug 2007

Hathaway and McAvoy are appealing, but bland. The scenes that hark back to Pride and Prejudice are not so much evocative as hackneyed…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 02 Aug 2007

Becoming Jane is one of those perfectly charming and well put together motion pictures I desperately want to like more than I actually do…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Gene Seymour (406) for Newsday (2,345) on 02 Aug 2007

Hathaway is too good an actress not to deliver more than just a grand star turn and she's able to carry the story of Austen's…
