Don't let the title fool you: The Sleeping Dictionary is the most seductive argument for foreign-language education a boy ever had. Hugh Dancy is a young and idealistic colonial official posted to Britain's deep-jungle Sarawak outpost in 1939, and Jessica Alba (Dark Angel) is the "sleeping dictionary," a sexy tutor who proves that the fastest way to learn a language is through lovemaking. Guy Jenkin trades in old clichés for new ones in his revision of the exotic old melodramas of forbidden love between handsome colonial men and gorgeous, guileless native girls. Alba's accent slips and slides but she's a sweet, sexy, and beguiling presence, while Bob Hoskins and Brenda Blethyn uphold the all-important appearance of British morality. If you can overlook the contrivances, it makes for a lush romantic fantasy about the triumph of love over the hypocrisy of so-called civilized society. --Sean Axmaker

The movie was beautiful. The characters were believable for such an unfamliar situaion. The plot was interesting and executed perfectly.
I think Jessica Alba has not been reviewed fairly by establishment critiques. This should put all doubts to rest

I admit it, I am secretly in love with Hugh Dancy and he is one of the sole reasons I rented this movie. I also enjoy Jessica Alba's acting but my primary reasoning was to see a movie in which Hugh Dancy was the lead. Right away I was drawn into this movie, sometimes I don't understand why certain movies are direct to DVD films and this is one of them. The acting is great, Jessica and Hugh have great chemistry, the setting is beautiful and the storyline is very star-crossed lover based. At first ... Read More

I netflixed this movie before I bought it because of the negative Amazon reviews and it is worth the buy. A truly romantic movie...you won't be disappointed.
