Profile of The Buccaneers

The Buccaneers can be described as witty, stylized, and clever. The plot revolves around looking for love, social differences, and couples relations. Its comic aspect comes from verbal byplay. The Buccaneers's main genres are drama, romance, and period. In terms of style, it is a mini-series, is talky, and stars a strong female character. In approach, it is realistic. The Buccaneers is slow paced. It is set, at least in part, in the countryside. It is located in London. The Buccaneers takes place in the Victorian era. It is based on a book. It is well suited for a girls' night.

Summary of The Buccaneers

This top-notch adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel tells the story of sisters Nan and Virginia St. George (Carla Gugino and Alison Elliott) and their friends Lizzy Elmsworth (Rya Kihlstedt) and Conchita Closson (Mira Sorvino). Shunned as "new money" by elitist New York society, the foursome travels to London to look for husbands, where they soon find themselves courted by numerous suitors. But as old and new worlds clash, something has to give.

Users Reviews

Very Beautiful, Rather Long
I liked it, but it might have been an hour shorter. The story moves very slowly indeed. Pretty true to the novel, but I don't think they did a great job with the romance, it was sort of haphazard at the end.

Not for me
