Title: Interesting for comparison...and that's it
Product review: I happened to get to see this one on TV before I could buy it and I must say...its one version I'd rather not own. While the cast is surprisingly familiar from the casts of many other lower-key films I enjoy (and extras from more popular ones) the acting is unusual and disjointed. Personalities from the novel are over-exaggerated or not present at all. My largest dissapointment was with not deemming it worth owning, since it has been my goal to own every TV/theatrical version of all of my favorite Jane Austin-era novels, but this one I don't want, unless its for "bad movie night".I do commend Gweneth Paltrow's efforts at playing a role for a story she's probably never heard of and an era never she's bothered to act for. I appreciate her efforts, but the older versions have outdone them.**I know I did not comment on the story line, but I'm certain another reviewer has written enough on the matter...along with Jane Austin.
