Title: Just Because It's Austen......
Product review: ....doesn't mean this is a good film. In fact it is pretty dire. Paltrow certainly gets into the role as meddling young Emma Woodhouse who, despite her good intentions, thinks far too much of herself and messes things up good and proper when trying to marry her friends off to eachother.But this is so evidently awkwardly made that it is embarassing and it sufficates the briming potential energy that everyone seems to have in this film.And Ewan McGregor as the supposed rake who behaves most inappropriately is incredibly wooden.The only redeeming feature this film has is Alan Cumming who is terrific as the pompous Mr. Elton - it is just a shame he is let down by everything else.
