The Scarlet Letter strays far from its classic source material to tell a story that strains for steamy sensuality and leaves the audience red with unintentional laughter. Read critic reviews

M'eh. Demi Moore was a poor choice to star in this classic story. She doesn't really have the gravitas to pull it off and she's got zero chemistry with Oldman. I'd recommend it if you don't want to read the book and Cliff's Notes are too expensive. Otherwise, it's not much of a diversion.
-
A ridiculously loose adaptation that squanders the depth of its source material in favor of a generic overlong soap opera with laughably ham-fisted symbolism. English teachers may get a good laugh but otherwise stay far away from this star-studded turkey.

When intimacy is forbidden and passion is a sin, love is the most defiant crime of all.

The only reason why I watch this movie is because I use the book for the preparation for my final paper, and this movie is really a waste of time. Seriously, not my kind of drama, since I'm not a big fan of Demi Moore and Gary Oldman So, overall this is really a waste of time.. This movie does not help me and my paper at all
