Bad fit for Demi Moore
I recently watched this movie, hoping to see a quality rendition of Hawthorne's classic novel, but I was disappointed with Moore's performance. I'm used to seeing Moore in action roles such as G.I. Jane and Charlie's Angels II, so it just didn't see like a good fit for her to be playing a stuffy Puritan. I couldn't take her role seriously in the Scarlett Letter, particularly with her accent. I just about gagged in one scene where she says, "Reverend Dimmesdale, I must apologize for my forthrighteousness on Sabbath last..." Um, does that mean, "I'm sorry I was so blunt last Sunday"?This movie would be so much better to watch with a different acress.
