Synopsis:
A modern re-telling of the classic Dickens novel.
Review:
I got to be honest with you; I haven’t read the Dickens book so I don’t
know how close to the original text this movie is. That said, I liked
this movie a lot. I kind of think of it as an anti-“Titanic” love story,
or put another way, a love story for those of us that didn’t find spitting
over the railing of a ship charming (I couldn’t wait for that huge vessel
to go down, and I’m not talking about Kate Winslet in the back of car).
I guess what I liked
most about this movie was that in the end love conquered all. And that
even though the Finn character had to go through a monumentus amount of
shit to get what he wanted, when he finally did get the girl he said that
it was all worth while (I’m starting to cry on my keyboard).
Of course I gotta
give props to my man Bobby D for a bang-up job in his supporting role,
and Ethan and Gwenith in their roles. Whomever it was that cast these
actors did a great job.
Special Features :
Guess what? There are none. Just trailers for this movie and a hand full
of other romantic comedies and romantic dramas. So if you have any great
expectations for some worth while special features, you’re shit out of
luck (I’m sorry for that lame joke, but with a title like this you have
to expect at least one).
Video and Audio:
Hardcore transfer and a 5.1 mix to boot!
