Movie Reviews of Emma
Movie Review: Genteel Humor
Summary: 5 Stars
Nothing will cause me to push the 'no' button faster than reading a review which compares a film to a novel. It is an unfair comparison. Anybody who expects a film to be 'faithful' to the novel is simply delusional.
With that rant aside, let me say that i have read the book, I have seen the Beckinsale version and I still consider this my favorite of the two. The reason is a matter of humor. While the Beckinsale version is very 'faithful', this has a wonderful genteel humor which I think Austen herself would appreciate.
Movie Review: A "good match" of romance & comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
What happens when a rich young lady, who plays match-maker to her friends, gets happily matched herself? "Emma" is just what happens. This rendition may not be as true-to-the-book as hard-core Austen fans might want it to be, but it sure does justice to it by lending more witty dialogues, especially between Gwyneth Paltrow and Jeremy Northam. This, plus excellent musical selections more than made up for the changes from the book. Two downsides on the DVD, (1) non-anamorphic widescreen and (2) Dolby surround only (instead of DD 5.1).Movie Review: Fun, lovely movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
Emma is a movie that has stood up to repeated viewings. Although it does not remain entirely faithful to Jane Austen's novel (Paltrow seems much nicer than Austen would have intended, and the language is a bit more relaxed), it is an enjoyable take on the classic novel. I am a fan of period films such as this one, and I also really like Austen's writing, so this was right up my alley. It's just a fun, light-hearted romance. The actors seem to fit well into their roles and the movie comes off quite nicely. I highly recommend it.Movie Review: A Sweet lovestory
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this movie!! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars. My all time favorite movie is Sabrina with Harrison Ford and Emma is now right along side. This is a movie that just makes you smile all the way through and leaves you with a tingle when it is over. It's not a movie for anyone other than those who like the light romantic movies of Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts. I fell in love with Jeremy Northam. He is absolutely gorgeous! Buy this movie--you will watch it over and over and love it more each time!Movie Review: I love this movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a sparkling little gem of a movie; my concerns about an American playing such a quintessentially British heroine proved unfounded, and all the characters just glow. I've long been a fan of Austen, and this has all the charm and sly wit of her book, although of course seen through a different lens.
Great for a lazy afternoon, or for a rainy day; I can - and do - rewatch this every couple of months! Highly recommended, and loads of fun.
PS The soundtrack is just lovely too.
