Summary: Perfection
Comment: This movie was well done. I loved the beautiful scenes of the English countryside, they made it feel as though you were there. The chemistry between all the actors was very strong and every scene just flowed so naturally. They really did a gorgeous job on this movie I don't think you will be disappointed. I do want to recommend you read the book first, it's always a good tribute to the author, as well as to see what the author was trying to portray. Some other movie recommendations would be "Emma" with Paltrow, "Pride & Prejudice" both A&E and Knightley versions`, and I know this is not an Austen movie but I just want to throw it in "A Room with a View" such a great movie. As for books that are similar but not exactly like Austen, the authors would be Victoria Holt aka Jean Plaidy (Mistress of Mellyn for starters), E.M. Forester, Bronte sisters, and Philippa Gregory are all very entertaining reads.

Summary: My favorite S&S movie
Comment: I am a Janeite, and I love Austen's books AND the movies that have been made from them. I have seen just about every tv and movie adaptation, and this is my favorite version of Sense and Sensibility. The acting and cinematography are a delight.
If you are a purist, it seems that Emma Thompson or Ang Lee chose to make Edward Ferras (played by Hugh Grant)a bit more sympathetic in the movie than he is in the book. However, I found this to be thoroughly forgivable and not distracting.
This movie sticks closely to the Austen plot, is historically accurate, and has fascinating characters brought to life by extremely talented actors. If this genre of film holds any interest for you, this is a winner!
