Dear Lord, what a bad movie
4 June 2008
When I saw the title I thought it was going to focus on Mary rather then more famous (infamous?) Anne but no. Then I thought, hey, maybe it will focus on relations between sisters but that is only partially true. Instead the movie starts with two sisters living together, then how they try to win king's attention then on Anne's story.

And all that crammed into 2 hours so expect things to start happening really fast, specially after Anne wins king's affection. In the end Mary takes a back seat and Anne is the focus so not really "the other" Boleyn girl.

I can understand that studios are trying to cash in on interest in Tudors (be it Elizabeth or The Tudors series) but this one is just first two seasons of said series condensed into 2 hours.

this movie had potential but was wasted on script that failed to focus on less-known parts of this story and instead after somewhat interesting start fell into retelling the known parts of this saga.

avoid if possible
