Mansfield Park

Yet another disappointing showing from the newest Jane Austen releases. These really need some better casting, more time and perhaps some better hair styling. I am far from being impressed.

This moves so quickly that I am not sure that you can tell what the relationships are truly suppose to be. There was nothing showing Fanny's friendship with Miss Crawford, her close relationship with her cousin, Edmund, it seems like all the relationships are almost nonexistant since you see so little of the events.

This has always been a little more risque due to the subjects that Ms. Austen writes about (ie. adultery). Luckily they did not show any inappropriate scenes to show this as the last film adaptation did.
