Rose Hill (1997 TV Movie)
2/10
Read the book! Possible spoilers.

Possible spoilers Ahead * * * * * Well, I was very disappointed with the movie. The book it is based on is absolutely excellent. The movie changed characters, killed characters off that survived in the book, made Mary Rose into a snotty little brat and a thoroughly unlikeable character. I started taping this movie when it came on and stopped before the first hour was over. I realize a movie version of a book is hardly ever as good as the book itself, but this adaptation just purely sucked. It turned Mary Rose from a loving young woman into a person I just couldn't care about and hoped would die crossing the Atlantic and put the audience out of its misery.

If you want the good story, read the book, For the Roses, by Julie Garwood. Don't bother watching this trash.

Cheers.
