I love this movie!!
I'm a HUGE Jane Austen fan, so I love this movie. However, not previously mentioned is a small but well done performance by Hugh Laurie. So dead pan and wonderful! All in all, a great movie, though some of the intricacies of society and the social norms of the time would make some scenes in this movie seem more important. There's some social drinking, but nothing major other than that.

Jane Austen would be proud
First of all, let me say that I am in awe of Emma Thompson for taking a book nearly devoid of dialogue and turning it into a witty, authentic-sounding screenplay. Then in additional to the brilliant adaptation, there are wonderful performances, lush scenery, astonishing period costumes, and a lovely score. Romantics everywhere will swoon.

Fun Jane Austen flick
A good movie, although definitely not up to the par of A&E's Pride and Prejudice. The entire cast is excellent, and the set and costume designs are beautiful. There is really nothing of concern in it aside from a subtle reference to a character's illicit relationship with a young girl, and she is said to be pregnant and on the point of delivery. However, this is done in such a way that younger kids won't grasp the meaning. Altogether a great movie, and lots of fun for any Jane Austen fan! (or Harry Potter fan; the movie stars Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, and Kate Winslet, and Imelda Staunton has a supporting role Mrs. Palmer!)

Another great Austen novel on film
Excellent love story of course by Jane Austen. This one I watch over and over and am enthralled with the actors performances. Moves you to tears and makes you want cheer!

Teenagers would like this movie if they like Jane Austen...
This is one of my favorite Jane Austen novel-based films. Very nice story. Some of the characters' cleavage showed, although not too often.

Lovely and entertaining
Some parts of this movie were a bit cheesy, but otherwise, it was sweet and romantic. The filmography was beautiful and the acting was really well done. Kate Winslet's character doesn't behave very well, meaning that she snubs a nice guy for some wild partier. Well, the closest a person could get to a wild partier in the Regency period. Parents might have to talk to their kids about what is happening in the movie because some kids may not understand completely what is going on because of the lagnuage used and such. A really beautiful movie!
