Movie Reviews of Lady Chatterley
Movie Review: 2 Stars
I was really dissapointed with this film. I am crazy for any adaptation of a British Lit Classic, and have a very large collection of those types of movies. Very rarely do I find one that I just don't like. This one is that rare film. I tried to watch it twice, and I just cannot get into it. The music is so dull and repetitive that it could put you to sleep. It's like who ever wrote the score completed two minutes worth then gave up and just decided to replay it over and over again because they were already bored of it. It is really annoying. Furthermore the acting is nothing to write home about, either very stiff or complete overkill. I don't even think the costumes are that good, which is pretty surprising. I do not know the novel, so I am not sure how the characters are supposed to be, but in this film they are irritating. It is hard to sit through hours of a film when you don't like the main characters. If Lady Chatterly were your friend you would tell her not to get involved with that creep and stop whining. I had no sympathy for her. Her lover is nasty. He does not seem to even like her and then POOF! they are in love and running naked through the woods together. The only one you have any sympathy for is Lady Chatterly's husband, and his character is pretty annoying too. The actor who plays him WAY overdoes it. He is played like a farce. The crazy war veteran who hears gunfire and is still commanding his troops, wearing his old uniform. He is a ridiculous stereotype that would be more at home in a comedy. The only part I remotely enjoyed was when Lady Chatterly goes to visit her eccentric and entertaining family by the sea. At least the scenery is pretty. Unfortunately you will probably fall asleep or shut it off before you get to that point. It is as if the filmakers felt that they could get by with this one simply with the sex. But that is not enough. This is not aimed at a porn audience, this is supposed to be aimed at an audience interested in a literary classic-- literature that is not purchased at the adult book store! If all you want to see is some bad sex scenes, full frontal nudity, and a lot of moaning and groaning, cut the crap and buy some porn!
