Product Description:
Anne Hathaway (THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA THE PRINCESS DIARIES) gives a radiant performance as a young love-struck Jane Austen in the witty and engaging romantic comedy BECOMING JANE from Miramax Films. It's the untold romance that inspired the novels of one of the world's most celebrated authors. When the dashing Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND) a reckless and penniless lawyer-to-be enters Jane's life he offends the emerging writer's sense and sensibility. Soon their clashing egos set off sparks that ignite a passionate romance and fuel Jane's dream of doing the unthinkable -- marrying for love. BECOMING JANE also starring the acclaimed Maggie Smith James Cromwell and Julie Walters is an enchanting and imaginative film you'll fall head over heels for.System Requirements:Running Time: 120 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/LOVE & ROMANCE Rating: PG UPC: 786936731927 Manufacturer No: 05410400

Like Molière, which was released in theaters around the same time, Becoming Jane isn't a conventional biopic. Instead, Julian Jarrold (White Teeth) expands on events from Jane Austen's life that may have shaped her fiction. To his credit, he doesn't stray too far from the facts. In 1795, 20-year-old Jane (Anne Hathaway with believable British accent) is an aspiring author. Her parents (Julie Walters and James Cromwell) married for love, and money is tight. They hope to see their youngest daughter make a more lucrative match, and there's a besotted local, Mr. Wisley (Laurence Fox, son of actor James Fox), who would be happy to oblige. Unfortunately, Jane isn't interested. Then, she meets brash law student Tom (The Last King of Scotland's James McAvoy), while he's staying with relatives in rural Hampshire. As in many Austen novels, it isn't love at first sight--but rather irritation. Just as affection begins to bloom, Tom has to return to London, and Wisley, whose financial prospects are superior, proposes. To complicate matters, Tom's uncle (Ian Richardson in his final performance) disapproves of the outspoken young lady just as much as Wisley's aunt (Maggie Smith, lending the proceedings some subtle humor). Had Austen penned the script, Tom and Wisley would be combined into one person, but life doesn't work that way--and nor does Becoming Jane. Though Jarrold's effort may not be as swoon-worthy as Joe Wright's Pride and Prejudice, it remains true to the spirit of the author's work. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

I adore Jane Austin and although her own personal story isn't as interesting as her books it still could have been enjoyable to watch and told better and then in this film.
The first half of the movie is "barely tolerable". It makes you either want to turn off the TV or fall asleep. The second half picks up enough to at least be able to finish the movie. James McAvoy was the only thing I liked about it. He is definitely shines here.
The reason I give it a one star:

Does anyone else have problems getting this blu ray movie to play on their blu ray player? I can't get this film to play, and I have bought this blu ray from three different sources. The intro is fine, but as soon as I click on 'play,' it just goes to black and nothing happens--even after a 20 minute wait. Any help would be appreciated!

Becoming Jane focuses on the life of writer Jane Austen. Anne Hathaway steps fearlessly into the role of the literary icon. Hathaway's performance left a good impression on me, she is a special and diverse actress, loved her accent in th film even though other reviewers did not. James McAvoy is an extraordinary actor as well, this was my first exposure to this enchanting thespian, his charm and wit make him a standout in this regal film. Parts of the movie are a bit slow but I enjoyed the experience, the costumes ... Read More
