    Product Description

Two sisters Anne (Portman) and Mary (Johansson) are driven by their ambitious family to seduce the king of England (Bana) in order to advance their position in court. What starts as an opportunity for the girls to increase the family fortune becomes a deadly rivalry to capture the heart of a king and stay alive.System Requirements:Running Time: 115 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/CLASSICS Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396214507 Manufacturer No: 21450

    A tale of two sisters competing for the same king, The Other Boleyn Girl uses historical facts as window dressing for this work of fiction that is entertaining, if not wholly believable. Anne Boleyn (Natalie Portman) is the doe-eyed vixen ordered by her power-hungry uncle to bewitch King Henry VIII (Eric Bana). Her shy sister Mary (Scarlett Johansson) has always been in Anne's shadow; Anne is prettier, more accomplished, and desired by many men. So when the King picks Mary--the "other Boleyn girl"--as his mistress, Anne turns on her sister and schemes to become not only the King's consort, but his new queen. With a pair of American actresses in the lead roles and an Aussie portraying their hunky object of desire, the English accents are all over the place in this period piece with a modern feel. Though the Boleyn girls' mother points out that her "daughters are being traded like cattle for the advancement of men," it is Anne who ultimately throws her slight weight around to bully Henry into doing her bidding. When he begs her to give herself to him, Anne--wearing a Carrie Bradshaw-esque "B" pendant on her neck--counters, "Make me your Queen." Is the audience really supposed to believe that Henry the VIII--the most powerful man in the land--would divorce Catherine of Aragon, separate from the Catholic church, and put England in upheaval simply because Anne refused to sleep with him until he jumped through all her hoops? "I have torn this country apart for you," he hisses at her before finally getting his way. Based on Philippa Gregory's bestselling novel of the same name, The Other Boleyn Girl features an attractive cast and a familiar plot with some icky twists. Kieran McGuigan's cinematography is breathtaking and is as crucial to setting the film's tone as the dialogue. Actually, it fares better: Lines such as "Well? Did he have you?!" sound almost comical. But the sweeping shots of Henry's kingdom and the carefully framed close-ups of Portman and Johansson are breathtaking in their beauty and say what words simply cannot. --Jae-Ha Kim

    There is really nothing more I can say about the book nor the movie that hasn't already been said. I read the book, said I would never watch the movie. Well the movie came on public TV so I took a chance.

    I never pay attention to what the guide says about movies because I have found that many times my opinion differs. This time the guide said the movie was a soap opera. I should have paid attention to the guide. However I did watch the whole movie because I felt the challenge to try to remember what the book said so I could figure out what was going on in the movie.

    No to you purist this is not a review, but it is an expression of an opinion.



    4 out of 5 stars The Boleyn Girls   June 23, 2009
    Katherine Leftwich
    This is a good movie, and I particularly enjoyed the special features that are found on the dvd. However, when I was watching the movie I felt it focused more on Anne Boleyn instead of Mary Boleyn, whose life the movie was supposed to be about.

    Also, the movie (even with the deleted scenes found in the Special Features section) seemed to be missing a few critical details that are found within the book.



    3 out of 5 stars Not a History Lesson   June 22, 2009
    Army Mom (Mill Spring, NC United States)
    This movie was a feast for the eyes: great costumes, sets and so on. But the dangerous thing about historical fiction is that, unless one has studied history and has a thorough knowledge of the subject being written about, one can't know where the truth ends and the fiction begins. This isn't the doing of the filmmakers, but of the author. And it IS publicized as historical FICTION and not misrepresented as complete fact, so it's not like the author meant for it to be a reference work.

    Having studied Tudor history, I won't bore you with the discrepancies, but if you want a film that is full of historical color and not a history lesson, go for it. All of the actors turned in sublime performances; I saw it twice and really enjoyed it. Just don't believe everything you see!



    3 out of 5 stars Soap Opera History   June 16, 2009
    One-Line Film Reviews (Ann Arbor)
    The Bottom Line:

    A sudsy look at British history starring two Americans and an Aussie, The Other Boleyn Girl isn't out-and-out bad but it's so "dramatic" and hystrionic that few viewers (with the potential exception of middle-aged women) will find themselves sucked into the story and/or caring about the characters.

    2/4



    5 out of 5 stars Loved The Movie   June 15, 2009
    Stephanie Bryant (Mississippi)
    I usually read the book before watching the movie. In this case, the movie just happened to come on Starz and I watched it. I LOVED the movie so much! I love anything to do with that period in time. The lovely accents, the beautiful dresses, handsome men, romance, and deceit. It was all there! You will not be disappointed with this movie!
