I never saw the repurposed Great Expectations. Sounds like something to try when there's nothing else?

Definitely better than “Eat Pray Love” if you have to choose between the two

Thank you for including my Wonka post, I really wanted to like it… but it just didn’t turn out that way! 😉

I’ve not seen Great Expectations, a bit high brow for me. 😂😂😘

Thanks for linking to my Mrs Robinson post, Beth! I now see how it fits. And honored.

I haven't seen Great Expectations, but what I can say is that I have always been a big Chris Cooper fan. There doesn't seem to be an untruthful bone in his body when he's acting. I'll see a film just because he's in it.

I wonder if it was a not-so-great script as well as not really believable characters. (Because I usually enjoy all those actors!)

Thanks for leaving this note! I think you are write about the role of the script being the major tipper of the scales in this instance. And Chris Cooper is glorious
