A perfectly respectable, perfectly unexceptional movie version of the Charles Dickens novel, this is one of those studious adaptations tailor-made for high school English classes. Charlie Hunnam is a blond bore as the lead, a young country man who must fend for his mother and sister in 19th-century London. Only supporting performances by the likes of Jim Broadbent and Nathan Lane inject this musty movie with some of the source material’s sense of life.
