They haven't pushed any boats out here. There is no dreamy quality like the Redford/Farrow version or exhuberance of the Baz Luhrman. But this is a more faithful rendition and truer to the novel.
The acting is acceptable without being standout, the direction is adequate, but there is is a certain PG quality to proceedings. The action avoids being graphic in any way.
Mira Sorvino is a little lost, Paul Rudd is ok and Toby Stephens is breezy without being inspiring.
Literature students may choose to watch something like this instead of fawning over DiCaprio as they will probably learn more. Although I must confess it that version I prefer most.
