I read a lot of negative comments on YouTube, and thought they sounded as though they'd been written by people with closed minds. I was open to a new light-hearted adaptation in the Bridgerton genre, so I gave this film a sincere try. After ten minutes, I couldn't continue. Many of the actors are fine, including Dakota Johnson, but their talents are wasted. The script is horribly written. Too many jarring, cringeworthy scenes. I couldn't get absorbed in this film at all.
