Reece Witherspoon, not sure about you, but I'm tired of seeing her. Regardless, this movie wasn't bad. The costumes were beautiful as well as the decor. Time piece films are always a spendor to watch even though some of this cast was frumpy. There wasn't enough drama in this movie, there should have been more interesting things that happened to Rebecca Sharp (Witherspoon) even with the restraints of the time period. She was a social wall climber, quite convincingly was the gleam in her eye, but there wasn't enough of a story line built between her and the rich man (Gabriel Byrne) from her youth that buys a portrait of her mother from her father. I wanted to love this movie, but was sadly disappointed. It felt as though it was 3/4 finished- hurried to get it to theatres. And the ending was upbeat and too tidy.
I didn't read the book, but I reckon, it was better than the movie.
Worth the money rating: $$$
