It simply bored me. And this is odd for a 90-minute film. As for Billie Piper . . . she gave a solid performance. However, like the literary Fanny and other cinematic versions, Piper’s Fanny retained a good deal of the character’s hypocrisy without acknowledging it. The actors who portrayed the Crawfords were abominable. I’m not referring to their characters’ personalities, but their acting skills.

I watched it with disappointment.
While I’m sure Billie Piper is a fine actress, her portrayal of Fanny was far to casual. Granted, not entirely her fault, she was given a script and direction. I think, however, the one thing that annoyed me the most during the film was her hair. Living as and where she was, even though not born to the Bertram status, she would have been expected to dress and look accordingly but that was just my pet peeve.

Which would be fine and all but I already own it. I was very annoyed. Here’s to hoping I’ll just win a copy from you!

Secondly: Mr. Rushworth, Maria and Mary played their parts VERY well, and I thought Edmund was played quiite well.
Thirdly: The “purple” scene was one of my favourites. My take on it:
“Fanny: purple.
Edmunds eyes go wide. *GASP!!!!!* I LOVE FANNY!
and the rest is history”
hehe.
