Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Becoming Jane becomes a rather ordinary, though sporadically entertaining, game of dress-up.
– Christy Lemire,

fresh:
This never rises above a date movie, but it's functionally literate (the lovers have some pleasant banter about the realistic merits of Tom Jones) and features a fine supporting turn from Ian Richardson.

fresh:
Hathaway never makes us think the woman could write anything more complex than a diet book.

rotten:
Not only is that a huge stretch of the facts, it makes for a dull and overly familiar melodrama.

Hews frustratingly to the middle of the road.
