Movie Reviews of Cold Comfort Farm
Movie Review: Cold Comfort Farm is wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific film Have seen it three times. Invited over some friends to watch the film with us. We howled with laughter at the doings of the family. What did she see in the shed? Love love love all the wild characters. Kate Beckinsale is lovely as the homeless orphan who "fixes" her weird and wonderful relatives. The Hollywood producer visiting and discovering Seth is a highlight of the film, as is the hilarious wedding scene.
Summary of Cold Comfort Farm
Rural british eccentrics change their ways under the influence of a chic cousin from 1930s london. From the stella gibbons novel. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 07/01/2003 Starring: Sheila Burrell Stephen Fry Run time: 104 minutes Rating: Pg Director: John SchlesingerThis hilarious spoof on British costume dramas based on great literature stars Kate Beckinsale (Much Ado About Nothing) as a strong-willed, young woman named Miss Flora Poste, who finds herself orphaned and without means in the 1930s. Moving in with some half-savage relatives on a country farm, Flora is hardly daunted by their primitivism (as she might have been in a novel by Thomas Hardy) but instead takes charge and imposes hygiene, order, and good manners on the dirty, superstitious lot. John Schlesinger directs this brisk, infectious adaptation of the 1932 novel by Stella Gibbons. Beckinsale is wonderful, and the rest of the savvy, inspired cast perfectly send up a host of literary clich?s. --Tom Keogh
