Title: Could have been better
Product review: This version of Emma was simply a vehicle to spotlight Paltrow. The scenery was spectacular, the costumes were beautiful. It is a very "pretty" movie and in that way enjoyable to watch. (with the sound turned down) Paltrow's acting was just that , acting. She was totally unbielevable as was "Harriet". The actress who played Harriet was just awful. Paltrow came off as silly, and unconvincing as Emma. The A&E version was much more like the book and the acting top notch. When watching Kate Beckinsale as Emma, you felt she really understood the character she was portraying. She was totally natural and at ease with the dialog of that period. This version of Emma can't begin to compare with A&E'S.
