DVD Reviews of Beau Brummell - This Charming Man
DVD Review: bizarre
Summary: 2 Stars
I love period films, but I did not enjoy this one. The plot was thin, I thought the acting was well done.DVD Review: Disappointed...
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed in this movie. From the description, I thought it would be more comprehensive regarding Beau Brummell's rise to popularity in Regency England. It was more 'artistic'. I would not recommend.DVD Review: WORTH THE WAIT !
Summary: 5 Stars
Period dramas are my favorite type of movie. James Purefoy (Rome,Vanity Fair, Mayor of Casterbridge, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, Mansfield Park)is one of my favorite actors, so this movie was destined to be a favorite! Historically it is of great value. Just think, if it weren't for Beau Brummel, our men might still wear ruffles. The most excellent supporting cast includes Hugh Bonneville(also of Mansfield Park)and Matthew Rhys. My only complaint is that this movie is too short. I am sure this story deserves more than it's length of only 79 minutes and someone should be "horse whipped" or at least ashamed of the stunted state of this production. Now, if we might only be able to purchase "Blackbeard" starring James Purefoy, on DVD as well! One may only hope!DVD Review: Beau Brummell - This Charming Man
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a James Purefoy fan, this movie is a must. Very entertaining. James is absolutely adorable in this, his acting and his presence.DVD Review: Gorgeous Cast Fun story
Summary: 5 Stars
Who knew that Beau Brummell was the tabloid celebrity of his day. James Purefoy is just amazing as Beau - the man that changed the way men dressed. Matthew Rhys from Brothers & Sisters has a small but great role as Lord Byron.
The music is very catchy and I just had fun with this story.
Description of Beau Brummell - This Charming Man
The dashing designer of modern dress-and disgrace
As seen on BBC America
James Purefoy (Rome, Vanity Fair) delivers a captivating performance as the dandy of Regency England who changed male fashion forever. In an age when men bedeck themselves in powders, perfumes, and all manner of finery, Brummell boldly advocates simplicity, elegance, and-good heavens!-washing. His friendship with the Prince Regent (Hugh Bonneville, Iris) rockets Brummell to social prominence, but his fascination with the magnetic bad-boy poet Lord Byron (Matthew Rhys, Brothers & Sisters) eventually proves his undoing.
Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe (The Other Boleyn Girl) and based on Ian Kelly's critically acclaimed biography, Beau Brummell tells its story with a wit, flair, and irresistible stylishness that befit England's ultimate man of fashion.
DVD BONUS FEATURES INCLUDE "Brummell in Pop Culture" essay and cast filmographies.
