THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL

I WENT TO THE THEATER EXPECTING TWO HOURS OF, "I LOVE YOU, YOU LOVE ME, WE LOVE EACH OTHER." THIS WAS NOT THAT FILM. THIS WAS A COLLEGE COURSE, POLITICAL AND SEXUAL POLITICS 101. THE COSTUMES AND SET DESIGN WERE MAGNIFICENT. THE COLD BLOODED MANNER IN WHICH THE BOLEYN FAMILY APPROACHED MATCHMAKING WAS SCARY. THEY DROPPED THE ROMANCE AND CUT TO THE CHASE FOR THE BIG BUCKS. VERY FEW OF THE CHARACTERS KEPT THEIR INTEGRITY, BUT THEY ALL KEPT MY INTEREST.
