Emma

Customer Rating:
Summary: Emma a great movie!
Comment: Gwyneth Paltrow does a most excellent portrayal of Emma in the movie of the same name. I love this movie so much I bought a copy to give as a gift to friends. I highly recommend it for those who like Jane Austen movies.

Summary: Better version
Comment: I have seen two versions of this Jane Austen novel. I find the choice of actors much better in this version.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Cute!
Comment: If you are fond of this kind of film you should like it. It's a cute little romance. Not serious but very light hearted and somewhat comical. I probably would have given it 4 or 5 stars if the cinematography and directing had been better. I also think the casting was a little blah, with the exception of Gwyneth Paltrow and Alan Cumming.
Paltrow nailed it! I'm not a huge fan of hers but she played the complicated Emma perfectly. Well meaning but trouble making, sweet but spoiled, generous but snobbish. She really made the character charming and believable. Alan Cumming was great to, but when is he not?
I defiantly recommend you give it a shot. It's not a movie you could watch over and over again, but at least once.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Emma - timeless
Comment: I own this movie and it's one of those that I put on my dvd once a year. I've never grown tired of this classic story. Gwyneth is terrific in this. It's about finding love in the oddest of places. It's about judging people and making false character analysis. It's about making things right with good friends. And it's sweet and fun all wrapped up. I loved this movie and anyone who loves Jane Austen will like it.
