Emma Thompson scores a double bull's-eye with this marvelous adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. Not only does Thompson turn in a strong (and gently humorous) performance as one of the Dashwood sisters--the one with "sense"--she also wrote the witty, wise screenplay. Austen's tale of 19th-century manners and morals provides a large cast with a feast of possibilities, notably Kate Winslet, in her pre-Titanic flowering, as Thompson's deeply romantic sister. Winslet attracts the wooing of shy Alan Rickman (a nice change of pace from his bad-guy roles) and dashing Greg Wise, while Thompson must endure an incredibly roundabout courtship with Hugh Grant, here in fine and funny form. All of this is doled out with the usual eye-filling English countryside and handsome costumes, yet the film always seems to be about the careful interior lives of its characters. The director, an inspired choice, is Taiwan-born Ang Lee, who brings the same exquisite taste and discreet touch he displayed in his previous Asian films (such as Eat Drink Man Woman). Thompson's script won an Oscar, and 1995 was a fine year for Jane Austen all around: Persuasion was made into an excellent picture, and Emma became the spritzy high school comedy Clueless. --Robert Horton

 For The True Romantic November 9, 2009
Hopeless Romantic (Pasadena, CA)
I first saw this movie in the Theaters in 1994 or 1995. I usually don't go for "Olde English Tales" type movies, but my friend talked me into going to see this with her. I found it to be humerous, touching and very romantic. I watched on DVD for the first time in years last night. Again, I was impressed with the fact that the movie had no violence, no profanity, no nudity and no sex yet was very entertaining. This movie makes you want to root for the Dashwood sisters as they pursue love and marriage in a time where your status in society dictates who and how well you marry.
Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet gave excellent performances. I really enjoyed Alan Rickman in a non villianous role and thought he was excellent although very sedate and soft spoken.

I wish I could express how much a movie like this one can take you away to a place that you can leave all of your worries behind. I am a true fan of this one and am ordering more today because of it. I haven't seen Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion so I will wait for them to arrive with much anticipation. You will not regret one moment buying this movie.
Needless to say the actors are so talented they make you feel you are there. I don't know how else to describe it, so I will just say BUY IT!!! I am certain you will enjoy.
Also I ordered this using my prime account and received it the day after I ordered it which actually was one day faster than promised.
