Movie Reviews of Becoming Jane
Movie Review: I can't believe this doesn't get 5 stars
Summary: 5 Stars
This isn't the true story of Jane Austin but a beautiful concoction based loosely on facts that does Jane Austin justice. You have the educated women not of her century you have the enticing misunderstood man and you have the exploration of socially acceptable customs of the era. Its like a version of a Jane novel and I loved it. If you are at all like me and enjoy time period pieces and beautiful love stories than give Becoming Jane a chance.Movie Review: Too forced into a box
Summary: 3 Stars
The story moves along, in Jane Austin style, with a tendency to follow parts of other Jane Austin stories (most notably, parts of Sense & Sensibility, parts of Pride & Prejudice) which is a nice mirror to how she created the stories. However, as the second half moves along, the story is led down the predictable hollywood-style ending. While not offensive, and with a good cast, this enjoyable movie is not particularly memorable. An enjoyable, if forgettable, experience. Movie Review: (3.5) Suprisingly Warm and Artfully Done
Summary: 3 Stars
I can't vouch for the historical accuracy of the film, but in terms of capturing the spirit of Jane Austen, at least with regards to the fiction, this movie does a remarkable job. In many ways, the movie runs parallel with "Pride and Prejudice" and it really is a lot of fun to see some conjecture (I believe, although this may be perfectly based on fact) as to how many things entered her novel. The movie reminds me of Shakespeare in Love in that meta-textual sort of way. For fans of Austen or of a good period piece, this movie will entertain.Movie Review: Good movie

This was a gift for my wife and she loved it. She's watched it several times now.Movie Review: Amazing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is now one of my favorites. I have to admit that I am big fan of Jane Austen's books and that I saw a lot of things in the movie that were true. There were so many things in the movie and that was in her real life that she had used in her books. Examples include Mr. LeFroy was the true Mr. Darcy, her sister, Cassandra, she used as the basis of Jane, Elizabeth's sister in Pride and Prejudice and even the proposal of Mr. Warren at the end of the movie mirrors the proposal of Mr.Elton in Emma.
This movie was fantastic, it may have been a bit extravagent to the truth, but still there was plenty of truth in it. Along with a great cast, Becoming Jane had a beautiful composition of music that went perfectly in the movie.
