Rating: - Delightful.
A delightful journey into the life of writer Jane Austen, whose character's lives in her books have happier endings than her own. Torn between giving up the man she loves so he may help his impoverished family and please his rich uncle, Jane clings to her passion for the written word to help heal her wounds in the real world. Choosing not to marry another rich suitor because she does not love him, Jane hopes to 'live by her pen'.

Rating:  - Nice picture of Jane Austen's early years
I love romance, so I enjoyed this movie very much. It was nice to discovered the kind of life that Jane Austen could had had and related with his books, it can explain a lot about her personality. And the performances of Anne Hathaway and James Mcavoy were great, they made a nice couple on the screen, they transmit the idea of real love through their rolls. Perfect for my teast.
Rating: - Physocologically Fascinating!
Anything written by Jane Austin is a classic to me starting with my all time favorite, Pride & Prejudice, the English version, which I own is outstanding with excellent acting by all in the cast.

Rating:  - Ugh... why did I watch this??
When I first heard about Becoming Jane, I was so excited to see it because I have always loved Jane Austen's stories. Well, I watched it on DVD with a friend, and was thoroughly disappointed!
The music is fine, the costumes are fine, the scenery is fine... but the acting! the dialogue was so boring, or too risque'. I didn't see how Jane would even have fallen for Tom Lefroy in the first place. He seemed a complete jerk. I could go on and on, but I won't bore you.

Rating:  - Bottom line.....it's not a good film.
I adore Jane Austen 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, and the end is somewhat tear jerking. James McAvoy was the only thing I liked about it. He is definitely shines here.
