What a disappointment. Had high hopes especially with Alicia Witt and Bebe Neuwirth.
But though based on the Austen novel, this movie lacks the integrity, intelligence and charm of Austen. Also worth noting that Persuasion is more serious than Austen's other work.
In its modern interpretation, the movie essentially celebrates consumerism, lack of ethics at work, rampant EEO violations at work, work conflict of interest, snarky objectification etc. Basically the Sex and the City version of Austen.
But even as a standard rom-com without the Austen reference, the whiny characters result in a charmless movie.
