* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The film drew a lot of negative criticism from fans of the book for its AdaptationPersonalityChange of Anne, turning her from one of Austen's most pensive and mature heroines into a "messy millennial stereotype" (who drinks wine and dances alone in her room to Beethoven before the advent of recorded music), and giving her witticisms and cheeky fourth-wall breaks that might have been better suited to ''any'' other Austen leading lady and not the solemn and introspective one Jane Austen crafted in the final year of her life. This was not helped by the director's comments about how Austen's women are "always falling over and crying and getting the flu" while the leading men are "foppish, glamorous, and socially able". Very few Austen protagonists fit these descriptions[[note]]the closest for the first is Marianne Dashwood, and it is treated as a serious character flaw[[/note]] and the remark reinforced fans' opinion that the filmmakers didn't understand ''Persuasion'' at all.

Others still have stated that if they were going to include that many modernisms, they may as well have gone the whole hog and done a SettingUpdate version of ''Persuasion'', similar to ''Film/{{Clueless}}'' (which was based on ''Literature/{{Emma}}'').
