I can't say I remember much about this film, mainly because I found the whole plot kind of blurry and fuzzy.

Ok, ME and my friend love to watch period pieces and for the past two weeks have been looking for new movies to buy. We saw this and thaught hey it is rated five stars, the same rateing as Pride and prejudice it must be great! well we were so wrong, we both allmoast fell asleep and , my poor friend spent 20 dollers on it! it is so dull, their is hardley any plot. just do not waste your money on it! but hey if you want to go on ebay my friend is selling hers!

This movie is not very good. The main problem is that every single person in the entire film was horribly ugly. There was not one single good looking girl or anyone else. The story dragged and the actors overacted their parts. Perhaps it is due to the fact that most of the actors were from the Royal Shakespeare Company and were probably more used to stage acting. The film quality was also very poor and looked grainy. We rented this movie because it was so highly recommended but it was not worth even renting. The acting was overacted, the script was awful, and the film was horrible. Truly an awful movie.

i love jane austen and i really enjoy period pieces. but the main character was the WORST actress i have ever seen in my life. she was boring, weird, ugly, and never changed her expression. i dont kno how anyone could love her. i could barely understand what they were saying. a terrible film. i hated it.

Poorly directed and thoroughly uninteresting. I am at a loss to explain why so many people have rated this film so highly: I personally got nothing out of it.The plot is convoluted and has many red herrings; the pace slogs in the middle; the main character is frigid and unreadable, and the climactic moment of passion is confusing and predictable.

Wow, I typically love movies based on Jane Austen books, but this was a *snoozer*! It moved so slowly, yet had *so* many characters, it was hard to figure out who was who till the movie was just about over. I asked my mother older mother to watch it with me, and she could barely sit through it. This on top of the fact that it was hard to believe that the great-looking and vivacious male love interest was "all time" in love with the mousie-looking and very uninteresting and quiet female primary character - I was so unimpressed with the movie that I cannot even remember their characters' names.Luckily I rented it from NetFlix before wasting my money on a DVD. If I hadn't, that DVD would've sat in it's box for the rest of my life. I love all versions of P&P;, and Emma, and S&S;, I even enjoyed the little play-on-P&P; mini-series "Lost in Austen", but, this movie?... was not good.I give it 2 stars instead of 1 because the acting, costuming and locations were nice.
