Description:
Sexy Demi Moore (DISCLOSURE, INDECENT PROPOSAL) heats up this powerfully sensual story of illicit love! In a time when adultery is punishable by death, Hester Prynne (Moore) becomes involved in a risky and scandalous affair with her town's handsome minister (Gary Oldman -- MURDER IN THE FIRST). But when their secret passion results in a child, Hester is confronted with the town's overwhelming scorn ... and is condemned to forever wear the scarlet letter 'A' as a public brand of shame! A highly provocative retelling of the classic tale of forbidden love, THE SCARLET LETTER combines a sizzling story with exciting stars and delivers must-see entertainment.

Amazon.com:
In yet another example of Demi Moore's astonishing narcissism, this appalling adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Great American Novel becomes a teary, talk-show-worthy story of a woman rediscovering the erotic, of interrupted love, of a brave-but-beleaguered heroine's personal struggle against male stupidity. Never mind that this has little to do with Hawthorne's magnificent, protofeminist book, which is a million times more relevant today than this film could ever be. Director Roland Joffé (The Killing Fields) deserves to be horsewhipped for colluding with Moore's self-fascination, while Gary Oldman should be kicked in the pants for allowing the novel's main character to come off as an inconsequential ninny. Making matters worse, Robert Duvall can be seen ridiculously dancing with a deerskin on his head. If this film were a joke, it would be a very bad joke. But it's not, and that's worse. --Tom Keogh

I went to see The Scarlet Letter twice in one week!!! Just loved Gary Oldman in this role. You will fall in love with him too. Brilliant and savage tale. Not to be missed.

- Picky picky
I don't understand why so many people are being so picky about this movie deviating from the book. I'm in the middle of reading the book right now. There is maybe a total of 10 minutes worth of action written into it and I'm not surprised that creative license needed to be taken for the screenplay.
I love the story line and the way the actors portrayed the deep and painful struggle between their hearts and the status quo of the times.
Gary Oldman is overwhelming in his role. I can't tear my eyes off the screen. I'm not as crazy about Demi, but the movie is very worth watching.
