Review of Mona Lisa Smile (2003) by Shane M — 12 Feb 2011

Okay, but wasn't thrilled.

It's you typical teacher inspires the students film, though admittedly a good version.

I really like the fact that the movie displays both sides, being an independent woman and being a stay at home mom. However, I take off points for immediately afterward, having the husband be seen as a bad guy. It made me think the movie wants the audience to be independent, because no good can come from being married, and I firmly disagree that independence is that important.
