IMDB: CLICK HERE
Based Upon: the novel "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte
Overall Rating: B-

This movie is based on the book (see previous entry) by Charlotte Bronte. The movie started off good, following closely with the original, but by the time Jane arrives at Thornfield, this movie distanced itself from the book. The ending, especially, was messed up. I'm not going to go into many specific details for those who haven't read this book, but at least know that if you're looking for a truthful adaptation of this book, check out the Masterpiece Theatre version instead.

Favorite Part: I'd have to say the beginning where Helen and Jane both get their hair chopped off. It was so cute seeing Jane stand up for Helen.

Watch On!
