Title: Predictable but fun period piece.
Review: Tom Conti, as the very amusing father of the family, steals the show for me, but I liked all the acting in this pleasant story about a young lady who serves as companion to the daughter of a wealthy household. Of course, she turns out to be much more than a servant, but Edith's relationship with Mr. Hamilton is so charming, that it warms up the screen whenever they have a scene together. Add Thomas Gibson as the handsome James Percy (an easy role for Gibson, who's always nice to look at) and it's the perfect Cinderella story, complete with evil cousin, instead of stepsister. Great for a rainy day "getaway."
