Title: Any movie with Ewan MacGregor singing can't be all bad...
Product review: Perhaps I would have liked this adaptation if I hadn't seen the BBC's version first. Or if I hadn't read the book. However I regret to report that Miramax's "Emma" was painful to watch. I felt like they were trying too hard. Perhaps the screenwriters were desperatley hoping to rake in the "Clueless" audience. As an avid admirer of all things Austen I was throughly disappointed. The story was so chopped up, not simply abridged, but chopped, that I didn't feel the closeness of the relationships that I got from the other version and the book. It was sadly 2 dimensional and forced. But, any movie with Ewan MacGragor singing can't be all bad.
