Two sisters, Anne and Mary Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious father and uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting the affections of the king of England. Leaving behind the simplicity of country life, the girls are thrust into the dangerous and thrilling world of court life--and what began as a bid to help their family develops into a ruthless rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of the king. Initially, Mary wins King Henry's favor and becomes his mistress, bearing him two illegitimate children. But Anne, clever, conniving and fearless, edges aside ... both her sister and Henry's wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon, in her relentless pursuit of the king. Despite Mary's genuine feelings for Henry, her sister Anne has her sights set on the ultimate prize; Anne will not stop until she is queen of England. As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a king--one driven by ambition, the other by true affection--England is torn apart.

Like the sibling rivals whose romantic lives it lovingly details, The Other Boleyn Girl has ideas above its station. Not content to be a mildly diverting royal bodice-ripper, it spirals out of control into the kind of overwrought dramaturgy that's out of its league.
Not, of course, that there was much room for choice in how the plot went. The Other Boleyn Girl is based on Philippa Gregory???s hugely popular, 1-million-copies-in-print novel, which in turn is taken from the history of 16th century Tudor England and the reign of King Henry VIII and his second queen, Anne Boleyn.
If that all sounds familiar, it may be because of 1969's movie o...
Other Boleyn Girl, The Henry VIII has too many Boleyns to choose from in this mean-spirited costume romp starring Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman
Philippa Gregory's celebrated novel 'The Other Boleyn Girl' was a canny exercise in peering around the corners of history, finding a little-known character whose story was well worth exploring: in this case, Mary Boleyn, sister of the ill-fated Anne. Despite there being no shortage of intrigue, sex and politics in the reign of Henry VIII, here was a deliciously dastardly new dimension.
This adaptation adheres to Gregory's tale of skulduggery at court, and her assertion that Anne was not the first Boleyn girl to be whored to the king by her ...

The only link that worked belonged to the Other Boleyn Girl 2003 version and not the one with Natalie Portman and Eric Bana. Anyway, the movie was just ok. Worth watching if you like period movies or historic fiction. They tried to make it a little "reality show" which I don´t think suits the story. The cast was just ok. The conversations seemed unnatural to me. I give this movie 2/5
