Skip it. Despite the gorgeous costumes and scenery, 'The Other Boleyn Girl' is a dramatically hollow soap opera that sacrifices historical authenticity and character depth for melodrama. The middling scores tell the truth: this is a forgettable period piece that won't justify your time tonight.

Plot

A sumptuous and sensual tale of intrigue, romance and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in European history: two beautiful sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, driven by their family's blind ambition, compete for the love of the handsome and passionate King Henry VIII.
