Been a long time since I've seen this and while some of the funny slapstick moments have held up pretty good an almost equal amount are now pretty stale. Before I began watching this I instantly remembered the scene where the hooker throws open her coat to show Martin her gorgeous body that would be perfect for the brain of his beloved and then she starts to speak... haha! Loved that part! 

Kathleen Turner sure was a sexy vixen back then and it was rather ironic how this ended with her character looking rather plump as she admits to Martin that she is a compulsive eater. Definitely a harbinger of things to come for Turner.

Becoming Jane, a review by Antares

Becoming Jane (2007) 64/100 - While this was a beautifully shot film, it really didn't do much for me. Maybe it was the fact that Anne Hathaway seemed ill suited for the role, or it just came across as too modern an approach to telling a story that should have been much more prim. I found it very predictable and never really became invested in either of the two lead characters or their romance. I guess if you are into Miss Austen's novels, then this could be a delightful diversion. The DVD box mentioned that it was made by the producers of Shakespeare in Love, and a few times while I was watching, I felt like they were were trying to make a Georgian version, but lacking the wit of that film.

What the color coding means...

Teal = Masterpiece
Dark Green = Classic or someday will be
Lime Green = A good, entertaining film
Orange = Average
Red = Cinemuck
Brown = The color of crap, which this film is

Plot:
As they continue their studies into human society, our four fairies learn about the meaning behind holidays like New Year's and Valentine's Day. They're also schooled on the all-important subject of sports. With this much knowledge and perseverance they should definitely be able to become human! But with a strange education like this - reading, writing and 'rithmatic doesn't seem to be part of their curriculum - what sort of humans will they turn out to be?

The first twelve episodes was teaching the four bottle fairies about Japanese customs. One for each month. This last episode has the bottle fairies being transformed into a human girl with the character traits of all four. A nice episode, but they could have done more with the idea.
