Wuthering Heights

MTV does the Emily Brontë novel in a beachy rocking take on the material. One day, Cate and Hendrix's father (John Doe) brings home their new adopted brother Heath. Cate (Erika Christensen) and Heath (Mike Vogel) would fall in love. Hendrix (Johnny Whitworth) is an angry young man who hates Heath. When their father dies, Hendrix takes over and drive Heath away. Cate has a car accident and is rescued by wealthy neighbor Edward (Christopher Masterson). Edward's conniving sister Isabel (Katherine Heigl) schemes to break apart Cate and Heath keeping Heath to herself. Cate would marry Edward. Heath becomes a rich rock star and his return causes havoc.

The acting is laughable for the most part. Erika Christensen is the only good part of this movie. Mike Vogel could be a passable douche but he's a horrible Heath(cliff). He overacts in every scene yelling and screaming. He just doesn't have the charisma. The production is acceptable for a TV movie. The music ranges from uninspired to horrible. The movie aspires to be so much more but ends up being a weak young adult melodrama. It's an experiment gone wrong.

For anyone looking for the "I Will Crumble" song , it was originally done by Hewitt Huntwork and it's easily downloaded! I liked this song a lot, along w/ Erika Christensen's part on "More." But I must say that I wished they would have spent a little more time on character development...it seemed as if Mike Vogel's "Heath" was extra intense for no reason, whereas in the book you really got to see why Heathcliffe and Catherine felt like one person...when "Kate" was talking about that in the Linton bedroom, I didn't think it was very believable based on what had been shown...it definitely could've been better...but this "I Will Crumble" song is still in my head...it is such a pretty song and it wholly encompasses the relationship of Heathcliffe and Catherine...if only MTV could have portrayed that w/ Heath and Kate, who ended up just looking like unchaperoned, lust-filled teens

What an empty and lack lustre rendition of the classic novel. I do wish people would stop messing about with classics when they clearly have no idea of the real intention or point of the original. This version is no different. I felt that the Ralph Fiennes version is much worse though as the casting of Juliette brioche as Kathy has got to be the worst casting decision EVER...anyway back to this version. It aims to make the story relevant to a contemporary setting and in a musical style. It succeeds in both but high art it is nit. Throwaway viewing for a rainy day maybe...The direction was average and the editing abysmal. Worse than the old Quincy. Deepak Verma does a great turn as Hindley and is in fact one of Britains wasted talents. The part of Heath was played with great charm and belief and I think that the casting is the strongest point of this project. Although a more talented director would have made better use of the facilities he had. Its clear that he was a director for hire and didn't instill the project with the passion that it deserved.

Man! That movie was really good. I love the singing. Had me smiling and crying.It was a great story, I love everything about it. The actors did great in the movie. I wouldn't change a thing on the movie. To me, it was done really well. I can't wait to see it again on tv. :D

this movie is not, and i repeat, not a good version of the book. if you haven't read the book, you'd probably think it rocks, but then that's your opinion.

i have to admit that Chris Masterson looked pretty good playing Edward Linton, but i think that they overdid Heath's part a tad bit. and because it's MTV making this movie, there are a bit of intimate parts in here. Plus, personally, i didn't like the ending.
