I wanted to like this film more than I did. It's one of those films that fits my bill, but was just a few inches short of fitting.
The characters were charming, and I liked the idea of the storyline. But it just didn't do much for me.
Carey Mulligan is Great submitted by ljq on July 10, 2011, 7:55pm Carey Mulligan does a really good job in this role

an education submitted by crp on August 29, 2019, 3:04pm this movie shows a smart, beautiful teenager whose life turns dramatically when she meets an older man. The title is sexist and the movie was so dull I had to stop watching it.
