Amazon.com essential video:
'I foresee a glittering future for your daughter,' the conspiratorial Duke of Northumberland insidiously whispers to the mother of Lady Jane Grey, the woman who would be England's queen, albeit for only nine days. The same could be said for Helena Bonham Carter, who, in her screen debut, carries this historical drama with aplomb. Jane, a principled and precocious 15-year-old (she reads Plato in Greek) was a pawn in a plot to maintain Protestant rule in the wake of young King Edward's death. A dashing Cary Elwes, anticipating his swashbuckling role in The Princess Bride, costars as Northumberland's feckless, wastrel son, Guilford, whose arranged marriage to Jane unexpectedly blossoms into love and rebellion. Anglophiles will bask in this impeccably mounted production (featuring Patrick Stewart as Jane's bullying father), but swooning teens, too, may embrace these young lovers as did the youths who made Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 Romeo & Juliet a box-office smash in its day. --Donald Liebenson

Rating:  - Birthright and power after Hentry VIII's death
Well, we all more or less know the story of Henry VIII and his reign.Most of it is attributed to his many wives and his effort to separate England from the Catholic Church.But once King (Henry VIII and his son Edward) died, court had to deal with counry that is divided by church, religion and potential fight on who will inherit the throne.Lady Jane was Henry's nice, daughter of his siter Frances.Young and well educated, she is an idealist who is being used for political purposes by the court ...

Rating: - An enjoyable story although not entirely true to history
"Lady Jane" is a really enjoyable film; it features very bravo performances by the two leads as well as good work by Patrick Stewart as the Machiavellian father.The costumes are good, and the film does a very good job showing that people of this period really did consider controversies of religious dogma to be life or death matters for which people did indeed die. The love story between Jane Grey and her husband makes for a better story, but it is apparently bad history as in fact Jane was completely ... Read More
Rating:  - PRETTY BAD HISTORICAL DRAMA
This movie was SO awful, dreary and depressing that my friend and I stopped watching it about 1 hour into it - we couldn't take it anymore!!And we are both HUGE Tudor history fans. But this film was just awful in every way; it was a total waste of money and I wish I could return it!!!
If you want to see REAL Tudors drama with fabulous acting, great scenery and extraordinary costumes, check out The Tudors on Showtime - do yourself a favor and don't bother with "Lady Jane"!
Rating:  - Sweet movie
Lovely movie, wonderful acting, but the the love story between Lady Jane and Guilford is not historically correct. If your looking for a love story and just a little history, hollywood style, this is a good movie.
Rating: - Lady Jane
Lovely story with a fairytale style theme. It was a different look at what could have been in times where love was not the norm for people in the Tudor era.
