1953 America was a time ripe for change for women and when Katherine Ann Willis (Julia Roberts) arrives to teach Art History at Wellesley College, she finds the institution drowning in outdated mores. While the nation struggles with the fears that accompany a shifting political culture, the powers that be at Wellesley seem to want to re-corset the women who had been the backbone of the World War II workforce just a few years earlier. A passionate educator, Katherine takes on the establishment and in doing so, deeply affects her students who in turn lead her to alter the course of her life forever.

    I actually watched the whole movie.

    Pros: Really takes you to the "times".

    Cons: Weak story & sloppy character building.

    I actually gave this movie a chance, even though I had heard it was a typical "chic flick". My wife fell asleep during the movie, but I endured to see the outcome. I have to say I was disappointed overall. Although it had the chance to b...e an awesome, heartwarming movie (I love period pieces), it fell short in many areas. I was extremely confused when we had been lured to utterly dislike Kirsten Dunst's character, but were all of a sudden expected to love her in the end, without any scene of redemption. They needed to develop the relationships with Julia Roberts and the students more, then the ending would seem more appropriate. It's a shame they didn't get more dynamic scenes from all of the talent they had in this movie. Read more Less
