Most helpful review Her Own Rules

  • Enjoyed it.

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    If you are a fan of Barbara Taylor Bradford then I recommend you rent this. I enjoyed it from start to finish and thought Melissa Gilbert acted well.

    I think though that this is mainly a woman's film, but my partner likes Catherine Cookson (for period drama) so you never know chaps.

    I would actually give this between 3 and 4 stars.

  • Good Music - Morally Bankrupt

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    Fine and likeable leads, and Jean Simmons lifted the film higher than it deserved. Very glamorous, wouldn't have the same resonance if they all lived in council flats I'm certain. But I have to say, going on about how you wish your wheelchair ridden wife at death's door would recover and within a heartbeat start snogging some other bird, unacceptable! Maybe it makes more sense in the book. The music is very uplifting though, and in a manipulative way gets us rooting for these people.

    Nice colours and backgrounds. We liked the very beginning, but gave up fairly shortly afterwards. Too predictable.

  • Uninspiring

    Rated - 2.0 stars

    Having seen 'Woman of Substance,' I found this story a lot less inspiring. I found it difficult to relate to the characters in this story and the plot seemed rather slow moving.
