Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Chrisb. (51) on 13 Aug 2007

Jane Austen sucks ass. Romance movies suck ass…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Brian Gibson (578) for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) (665) on 13 Aug 2007

While Becoming Jane is too much of a prologue to the writing Austen, it is an impeccably crafted imagining of a young woman seeking love at…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Larry Ratliff (323) for San Antonio Express-News (323) on 09 Aug 2007

Think of this scenario as a smart, witty, well-acted romance novel that has sprung to life on the big screen with some restraint and a decent…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By J. R. Jones (1,337) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 09 Aug 2007

This never rises above a date movie, but it's functionally literate (the lovers have some pleasant banter about the realistic merits of Tom…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Wade Major (240) for Boxoffice Magazine (2,896) on 09 Aug 2007

Although the film does eventually give up its referential conceits, it comes far too late in the game to salvage any real emotional investment…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Christy Lemire (1,262) for Associated Press (1,685) on 09 Aug 2007

Becoming Jane becomes a rather ordinary, though sporadically entertaining, game of dress-up…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Rob Thomas (1,118) for Capital Times (Madison, WI) (875) on 09 Aug 2007

That the film overlooks Austen's imagination becomes understandable when Becoming Jane reveals itself to be a rather unimaginative second-rate…

Review of Becoming Jane (2007)

By Jim Lane (1,151) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 09 Aug 2007

a diverting game of spot-the-reference…

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 Natalier.n. (2) on 04 Aug 2007
