Title: Gwneth is as exciting as warm milk
Product review: I just don't like Gwyneth paltrow. She bothers me. Perhaps that's why I did not enjoy this version of Emma as much as "Jane Austen's Emma" with the stunning Kate Beckinsale in the title role. Kate has a spirit that Emma possesses and Gwyneth lacks.Both are faithful adaptations of the book, but I just found the other one had more true spirit.Also, while Mark Stong, who was Mr. Knightley in the Beckinsale version, is not as classically handsome as the very cute Jeremy Northern (or Northam? I haven't got my copy with me to check) I found him to be much sexier. He also seems to exude manliness in an almost palpable way, giving me all kinds of interesting thoughts. Northam, again, is very handsome, but too droll for the forthright Knightley.I have compared the two twice now, and found that this version is just blah compared to the Beckinsale/Strong one.
