Did anyone see this movie? Was is any good? Why is it rated PG?

Thanks!

I think I am the only person who didn't really like it. I couldn't get past Rene Zeilweiger's fake bad accent. I don't even remember why it was PG.

Ha! I was wondering about her as Potter.

Thanks!

Maybe the drinking of alcohol? Other than that I don't know.

Well, there is the death of a significant character. You don't see it but it is emotionally upsetting. :confused:

I thought it was a great movie inspite of the bad accents. :p

I loved it... although I do not care for the actress who played Ms Potter.... I loved the movie!

I didn't like how she sort of "smirked" a lot: she smiled without showing her teeth.

Pretty good movie otherwise. Anything with Ewan MacGregor can't be too bad!:)

I really liked it and so did my 9 year old DD. It's a beautiful movie. I don't remember why it was PG, but I was completely comfortable letting my DD watch it and we are very picky about movies.

Thank you, everyone. I'll take a look and see if it will be okay for my children.

13yod and I really enjoyed this movie.

I thought it was a good movie, just not something that I'd probably sit and watch again. Not like North & South, or Pride & Prejudice. Those I could watch several times a year!

My kids saw it on an airplane ride, and still make fun of the accent and facial tics of the actress, but they really did enjoy it...

[Holly in FL]

Well...I think those "tics" are just Zeilweiger's thing. She does that in all her movies. It is annoying!

I loved it. I let my little ones (9 and under) watch it up to the point where the significant character's death occured.

And I LOVED Rene playing Miss Potter. I have not one bad thing to say nor would a change a thing about this movie....oh how I cried. I watched it twice....sigh...I'll probably buy it!

[Holly in FL]

Thanks, Brenda. Those are the ages of my children.

I just saw it and I agree! The bonus material is also worth watching! They talk about her schooling and her nature notebooking.

We just watched this today. I will have to look for the extras though, because I did not notice them. We do Five in a row too and we just did a Beatrix Potter week before rowing Peter Rabbit. :D I let all my children watch it from the 4yo- 11yo- I am usually pretty picky about what I allow them to see too.
