Not interested

I chose this video because of it's historical flavor and the choice of actors.  Unfortunately, neither of the two were very interesting.  Not having read the book I was totally lost for the first 20 minutes or so.  The story just moved so slowly and didn't keep my attention.  Catherine Zeta-Jones gave a very poor performance and I was very disappointed.  Joan Plowright came through, as usual, but still a little subdued.  The whole thing was very subdued and sluggish.  If you are looking for a movie with no nudity or language this will do.  Also, if you are studying this book in school I am sure you would find this video helpful.  Otherwise, I do not recommend this video.

score 5/10
