This bit of tripe is not even fit to line a birdcage. The only reason I gave it one star is because there wasn't a selection for zero stars. OK, it surely does not stay true to the Jane Austen novel; in and of itself, that is all right, since most novels are not adapted exactly according to the book. This one, however, completely changes the dialog and personality of the main character (and other characters); it adds disturbing scenes of a sexual nature that are completely gratuitous; and the only relationship this movie has to the novel are the names of the characters, and possibly the setting. Alessandro Nivola, I admit, is the definitive Henry Crawford, but even he is not worth watching this movie for.Watch this "adaptation" at your own peril.
