Editorial Review: Product Description: Teen-age lady jane grey rules england briefly with lusty lord dudley in the royal confusion of 1553. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 12/30/2003 Starring: Helena Bonham Carter John Wood Run time: 142 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Trevor Nunn Amazon.com essential video: "I foresee a glittering future for your daughter," the conspiratorial Duke of Northumberland insidiously whispers to the mother of Lady Jane Grey, the woman who would be England's queen, albeit for only nine days. The same could be said for Helena Bonham Carter, who, in her screen debut, carries this historical drama with aplomb. Jane, a principled and precocious 15-year-old (she reads Plato in Greek) was a pawn in a plot to maintain Protestant rule in the wake of young King Edward's death. A dashing Cary Elwes, anticipating his swashbuckling role in The Princess Bride, costars as Northumberland's feckless, wastrel son, Guilford, whose arranged marriage to Jane unexpectedly blossoms into love and rebellion. Anglophiles will bask in this impeccably mounted production (featuring Patrick Stewart as Jane's bullying father), but swooning teens, too, may embrace these young lovers as did the youths who made Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo & Juliet a box-office smash in its day. --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - PRETTY BAD HISTORICAL DRAMAThis movie was SO awful, dreary and depressing that my friend and I stopped watching it about 1 hour into it - we couldn't take it anymore!! And we are both HUGE Tudor history fans. But this film was just awful in every way; it was a total waste of money and I wish I could return it!!! If you want to see REAL Tudors drama with fabulous acting, great scenery and extraordinary costumes, check out The Tudors on Showtime - do yourself a favor and don't bother with "Lady Jane"! Rating:  - Sweet movieLovely movie, wonderful acting, but the the love story between Lady Jane and Guilford is not historically correct. If your looking for a love story and just a little history, hollywood style, this is a good movie. Rating:  - Lady JaneLovely story with a fairytale style theme. It was a different look at what could have been in times where love was not the norm for people in the Tudor era. Rating: - When Shillings Were Made of SilverLady Jane (Helena Bonham Carter) has grown up around royalty, but she secludes herself from her family and reads. Her family takes it upon themselves to conjure up power for their daughter and for themselves. They arrange a marriage for her to the wayward son of a Duke, Guilford Dudley (Cary Elwes). When the sick king dies, it is arranged that Jane will become queen because of her Protestant faith. History has shown that religion is always grounds for conflict, and this instance is no different. ... Read More Rating: - Lady JaneA little slow in the beginning. Sometimes child like.
