Movie Review by AJ 
August 3rd, 2006
|  |
Based on William Makepeace Thackeray's classic novel, Vanity Fair sports a delectable performance from the always-fantastic Reese Witherspoon (she even manages to pull off a pretty good British accent), but the rest of the movie can't keep up with the energy of its star. In fact, for the most part, director Mira Nair seems to lack any kind of excitement or enthusiasm--or even something bordering on anything more than lazy interest--in what's going on onscreen and what's happening to her characters. This doesn't make the film a bad one, it's actually fairly decent, but it certainly doesn't make it the easiest movie in the world to watch. My mind began to drift amidst all of the maudlin soap opera emotional twists, and as the film drew to its truly uninteresting climax, I almost didn't drift back.
