Synopsis
Events from the life of the author Jane Austen inspired this romantic historical drama, which speculates of a romance that may have had a significant impact on her life and work. Twenty-year-old Jane Austen (Anne Hathaway) is the daughter of Rev. Austen (James Cromwell), a minister who looks after a flock in a small rural community in Southern England with his wife (Julie Walters). While her older sister, Cassandra (Anna Maxwell Martin), is engaged to be married, Jane resists her family's efforts to match her up with Mr. Wisley (Laurence Fox), the wealthy but dull nephew of Lady Gresham (Maggie Smith), a minor member of the British nobility. Jane has the heart of an artist, and hopes to distinguish herself as a musician or a writer, though her parents don't think much of her prospects. When Jane meets Tom Lefroy (James McAvoy), a young man her own age, she's intrigued; while he scoffs at her writing style, he clearly sees she has talent, and is eager for her to learn more of the larger world by exposing her to more daring literature and modern pastimes such as boxing. As Tom begins to court Jane, she finds herself increasingly attracted to this poor but keenly intelligent man, though she soon realizes her own ideas about love and marriage are sometimes at odds with the conventions of the society in which she lives. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Most helpful customer reviews   1 of 4 people found the following review helpful: A Once in a Lifetime classic!!, Jun 9 2008 By  K. Hallett "Crystalhallett" (saskatchewan,canada) - See all my reviews    Becoming Jane, a movie about the life of Jane Austen, is a fantastic romance with a quality that is very hard to come by. It was heart-stopping, tear-jerking and full of "gentle" emotion. Anne Hathaway did a lovely job in portraying Jane Austen. She made you feel, hope and love...her emotions were felt by viewers and really let you see what times were like back then. James McAvoy...WOW!!!!!!!!! What else is there to really say about his acting? THAT MAN IS HOT!!! His intensity was unreal, and his eyes kept you entranced. This is definately one of those movies that you want to watch with some klee-nex, and when it ends...guaranteed! you will watch it again! GREAT GREAT MOVIE!! Was this review helpful to you?
