Summary: Dull
Comment: The only reason I can honestly say that this film is not as bad as, say, Saving Private Ryan or Titanic or From Hell is simple- the babes are cute as hell- Maggie Gyllenhaal is always sexy in a sly way, Kirsten Dunst does aptly portray the 1950s type whose bodice needs ripping & bosom needs suckling, & Julia Stiles has an eerie porcelain-like perfection, almost preternaturally perfected, that makes her mesmerizing to watch. &, hey, JR is not the best actress on the planet, but her goofy good looks are not punition. I would like to see stars like her wield & flex their power to improve rancid scripts like this. Hopefully the younger babes, if they become stars, will do just that- & ironically learn real lessons from this film that are not contained within. I can only guess JR actually likes clichéd wannabe tear-jerkers, or she lacks the ability to see 1 when she reads it. Either way, take a pass, & try reading anything for 2 hours.

Summary: A must see for young women
Comment: Julia Roberts is cast as a young, idealistic teacher who takes her first teaching job at a strait-laced Ivy League girl's college. She strives to bring the girls into the 20th Century by teaching the women from affluent families to think for themselves and use their free will to make independent choices for their futures. Entwined with her clash with the school's straight laced approach to educating women, there is romance for her and her students. Placed in the early 1950's when the growth of women's' liberation started, it has great significance. I would recommend it to every girl in high school or college. It's a great story with meaning.

Summary: Not Very Good...And That's Being Generous
Comment: Since the malnourished plot is already described elsewhere, I'll do everyone the favor of skipping what this film was about, or more accurately what it hoped to be about, and just tell you why I think seeing it represents two wasted hours of life. The boring, leaden-messaged Mona Lisa Smile reminded me that a studio got a lot of flavor-of-the-month twentysomething actresses together under contract and then scrambled to find some film to put them all in with a large anchor star. At least that's what the cobbled-together Mona Lisa Smile felt like to me. In its pre-release publicity for this film, the studio, as it struggled to define what this virtually plotless movie was about, latched comparisons onto superior productions from the past like Dead Poet's Society, and even Mr. Holland's Opus, all in an effort to bolster this turkey via association. I wonder if anyone was fooled? Mona Lisa Smile steals your time in a contrived, pointless, clumsy example of weak storytelling, while relying on big names to add some illusion of gravitas to the whole mess. It's like a massive wad of cotton candy sold in fancy packaging, and I for one found it pretty darned bad.

Summary: A list of respectable actresses
Comment: The cast list reads off many aspiring young actresses as well as the talented Julia Roberts. It delves into a hidden world of the desires and aspirations of many young women who struggle between a dichotomy of conforming to societal frameworks and rebelling towards a path of progressiveness.
