Mansfield Park

Sorry, but Billie Piper was impossibly miscast as Fanny -- who admittedly can't be an easy character to make sympathetic to a modern audience, but to turn her into a buxom galumphing wench isn't the way to go. Apart from "not too bright," I can't imagine what made them think she was right for the part. I don't think I'm tempted to order this one on DVD.

Not to mention the flowing tresses and low-cut dresses, not at all suitable for a respectable young lady.
