    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.

    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).

    Film Review: Ire and Irritability  Aug 10, 2007
    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.

    Becoming Jane feels too ordinary  Aug 10, 2007
    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)

    Colm Hagen/Courtesy Miramax Pictures  Aug 10, 2007
    James Cromwell appears as Jane's father, accurately described as "an obscure and impecunious parson."

    NOT-PLAIN 'JANE' HAS PRIDE  Aug 3, 2007
    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.

    " That the film itself never spirals into a similar free fall is due mainly to the buoyancy of the characters, who won us over in "Spider-Man" (2002) and "Spider-Man 2" (2004).
