Product Description

 
A rising artist, flourishing with the help of a benefactor, falls fruitlessly in love with his wealthy childhood playmate, who has grown to be a beautiful coquette. But the nefarious influence of her eccentric, spiteful maiden aunt taints their relationship. A stylish, heavily romantic updating of the eponymous Dickens classic, staged in 1970s south Florida. Bancroft, as the "Miss Havisham" character, steals the show.

"It is the journey, not its end, that is what teaches."

Date of Review:  Oct 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: At home, alone, nothin' but me and The Fluffy Kitty. No man, no phone, rain on the windowpane. Saved by "Great Expectations"!!!!
Review: One of the drawbacks of dating a cop is the occasional lonely night snuggled up with the VCR and the cat. This movie made such an evening downright enjoyable for me.

As an adaptation of the Dickens classic, Great Expectations succeeds on...

Nice, Very Nice... Someone Please Give Me Mr. Dickens' Phone Number Right Now!

Date of Review:  Oct 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: Another "modern adaptation craziness" series that makes me reach out for Prozac and a good book... Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, for example.
Review: Unconventional adaptation of Charles Dickens? Great Expectations became just another attempt to interpret classics in a new ?modern? way. Standing in line with Romeo + Juliet, Cruel Intentions, O, etc., it meets some expectations, but urges to read...

"I'm Just Going to Tell You How I Remembered It" in Cuaron's Film Adaptation

Date of Review:  May 13, 2004
The Bottom Line: While Not Up to Par with Previous Adapations, Alfonso Cuaron's Great Expectations is a Fine Film with Lush Cinematography, Soundtrack, & a Fine Supporting Cast.
Review: Charles Dickens' Great Expectations is often considered one of the greatest stories in literature. The story of a boy named Pip who encounters a convict named Magwitch as he comes to the attention of a reclusive woman named Miss Havisham as he falls...
