An interesting insight into the life of the writer and the making of some of the finest children's literature.

"Zellweger's face has utterly frozen into a human version of a scrunchie, and appears as if it will shatter into 1,000 pieces if an honest smile were to break out." - Jason Clark

Sweet (maybe too sweet for some) movie about the author of Peter the Rabbit. McGregor is the best one in it. You have to be a little sentimental if you will have any hope of liking this.

Boring, sappy shit.

Note to film-makers: if you're going to make a biopic, please try to pick an interesting subject. Beatrix Potter may have been a fabulously successful author, with her stories still being loved by children a century later, but the rest of her life seemed to be rather mundane. She fell in love, she had some heartbreak. That's not enough to fill a 90 minute film. Some of the Lake District shots were nice, but mostly it's just dull.

I'm Rennee Zellweger-Hamster_Cheeks-OSquinty, and I steal parts from more talented British actresses. Bah

quite unexpectedly good

A painful exercise in watching Renee Zelwegger channel the totem pole school of acting. One ugly face on top of another

A really lovely movie

Chick flick. Renée was brilliant as always. Was Emily for purpose hot in shirt and body licking tie!

This is a beautiful movie. It's a touching and beautiful story and brilliantly made. Of course, the sad moments deter me from watching it over and over, but it proves how wonderful the movie is that I would want to watch it again anyway.:)

Indubitably a chick flick. Guys should avoid this one. And even so, this film is trying to be Jane Austin and does not quite succeed. Emma it is not, but it's not bad.

WAFF-tastic and not much else, though Ewan McGregor's moustache does steal the show.

It's not bad, by any stretch of imagination. The problem is, it's not all that good either. You're constantly waiting for something enchanting to happen. But it never does. And don't come here looking for sense making. This movie just ends, just when you thought it might be going somewhere. Unfortunate.

Al right movie, thank god they kept it short. Becoming Jane Austen was a much better movie. Zellweger's acting is at par. Not movie that I would recommend as a must watch.

A charming and touching rendering of the life of Beatrix Potter. Recommended.

It's a ridiculously endearing movie that somehow manages to sweep you up in its whimsical fantasy. Zellweger gives a great performance in the lead role, and watching the interactions between her and McGregor's stuttering publisher is fascinating. While the animated sections are impressive, they're occasionally rather distracting, and (amazingly) much less fun than the rest of this film.

This movie is a piece of shit, but it got me laid.
