Like an Austen novel, 'Jane' touches the heart Aug 19, 2007
Much of the film's success has to do with Hathaway and a sterling cast of beloved actors -- Julie Walters as Jane's mother, James Cromwell as her father, Maggie Smith as the snooty old biddy who trumpets her pedigree over all -- that never overwhelms the delicate material. Hathaway, in particular, is radiant without shining too brightly, if that's possible. (Fresno Bee -- Lifestyle)
Other stars include James Cromwell as Prince Phillip, Michael Sheen as British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Alex Jennings as Prince Charles. The Queen received six Academy Award nominations in 2007, including, Best Performance by An Actress in a Leading Role, Best Motion Picture, Best Writing, Original Screenplay, Best Achievement in Directing, Best Achievement in Costume Design and Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures, Original Score. (Yahoo! Wire -- Entertainment News)
Jane, expertly portrayed by Anne Hathaway, is an aspiring young authoress, who defies convention by indulging her passion for writing and her parents' (Julie Walters and James Cromwell) wishes by refusing to marry the wealthy, but dull, nephew of Lady Gresham (Maggie Smith). Born into a relatively poor family, with a handful of brothers, it is imperative that Jane (like so many of her characters) marries for money. (iAfrica.com)
With Anne Hathaway, James McAvoy, Julie Walters, James Cromwell, Ian Richardson and Maggie Smith ... Jane's easygoing father and marriage-minded mother (James Cromwell and Julie Walters) are clearly based on the Bennets, and the wealthy Lady Gresham (Maggie Smith), a wholly invented character with a more suitable nephew for Jane, is proposed as the inspiration for Lady Catherine De Bourgh. (Valley Advocate)
The premise seems too precious but the cast is strong, including McAvoy (The Last King of Scotland), who always suggests a hint of danger behind his large, blue eyes, and James Cromwell and Julie Walters as Janes parents, who are at odds over her future. Maggie Smith, functioning as the snooty Lady Catherine figure, gets a few choice zingers. (MSNBC -- Movies)
James Cromwell appears as Jane's father, accurately described as "an obscure and impecunious parson." Maybe the saddest moment is Cromwell's noble old face collapsing as he receives terrible news in a letter. A subsidiary business in the film is the story of a well-off French countess called Eliza who wants to help herself to Austen's brother. (Silicon Valley's Metro)

Jane's father (James Cromwell), however, disagrees: When she marries, it should be for love, not money. And despite some initial sparring, it becomes clear to Jane that if love is all that matters, Tom is the ideal candidate. (New York Daily News)
Our story starts one Sunday morning in 1795, when mother and father (Julie Walters and James Cromwell) are in bed and the good Reverend dives under the covers to perform cunnilingus on Mrs. Austen (an event sadly unrecorded in Austen's letters to her sister, Cassandra). They are interrupted by their 20-year-old daughter's loud music she hammers away on the spinet. (Globe and Mail)
Everyone is in top form: Julie Walters as Jane's mother, James Cromwell as Jane's father and Maggie Smith as some monstrous old aunt who has all the money and controls everyone's destiny. But two of the best performances are by relatively unknown actors in featured roles. (San Francisco Chronicle)

This being an American documentary hoping for widespread distribution, the film is also top heavy with celebrities commenting on all of the above concerned, sombre actors such as James Cromwell and Margot Kidder, singer Joss Stone, the Playboy centrefold Barbi twins, along with dependably grumpy journalist Christopher Hitchens. Arguably, there are too many players crammed into Your Mommy Kills Animals, too many gotcha moments where the audience isn't quite sure what it is they're getting. (Globe and Mail -- Entertainment)
Although Jane's parents - played by Julie Walters and James Cromwell - are replicas of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, they're not exactly the same, and peripheral characters merely contain hints of broad comic creations such as Mr. Collins. Unlike an Austen story, "Becoming Jane" doesn't suffer from a predictable third act, and the characters aren't quite so schematic; for instance, the wealthy young dullard who wants to marry Jane isn't completely without insight.
