a good film
Review of Emma DVD by  LIZZY111

Advantages: the backdrop
Disadvantages: paltrow

...i went to see this film with contempt for paltrow. i still have that contmept but at least i got to see a good austen adaptation. the english backdrop is beautiful. all the characters are cast well but they only dispaointments are macgregor. who is abit miscast and northam. the only reason for this disapproval was i read the book afterwards and found out that he was meant to be an old man not a good looking late 30-early 40 man. but hey thats hollywood. paltrow is pathetic but toni collette was good she portrayed misguided and loyal well. everyone is familiar with the story. but this is a adaptation of a great book which fuelled my dislike of emma even furthur. great stuff...

Emma-zing
Review of Emma DVD by  Indigo_Montoya

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...There are few things I hate more than wasting a couple of hours of my life watching a crap movie. Fortunately, I came out from 'Emma' thinking the exact opposite. Witty dialogue, chilvarous romance and heaving cleavage in lacy dresses. Certainly not everybody's cup of tea but if like me, you spend your entire cinematic life trying to avoid scenes of grizzly violence, than this is one movie you can keep your eyes open the whole way through. Whether the same could be said of your male companion is another matter.... Read review

A fantastic adaptation
Review of Emma DVD by  Orinoco

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...Emma Woodhouse enjoys matchmaking for her friends. Unfortunately, in her attempts to forge what she sees as suitable couplings for her friends, Emma totally disregards their true feelings as well as her own. This leads to a variety of misunderstandings, the greatest of which centres around Harriet Smith whom Emma has befriended and whom she wishes to see well married. When Harriet finally does reveal her true love to Emma, Emma is suddenly forced to acknowledge her own feelings. Gwyneth Paltrow does a fantastic job playing Emma and the rest of the cast is equally good. This is a great adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel.... Read review

Matchmaking made in heaven.
Review of Emma DVD by  audreyh

Advantages: Light feel-good period rom-com. Fantastic cast.
Disadvantages: Very few – but the lack of DVD special features is disappointing.

...thing, so that we can laugh at her, not dislike her and hope it all works out well in the end. Which of course it does! The music by Rachel Portman provides a perfect ambience, often light and frivolous reflecting the comic banter. The ball scene where Harriet’s attachment to Mr Knightley begins (and Emma and Mr K’s feelings become more obvious to the viewer) features the emotive Mr Beveridge’s Maggot (also used in BBC’s Pride and Prejudice). The scenery is lush and costumes are beautiful, setting off Paltrow’s swan-like neck off to best effect! Emma has a U certificate and is available on DVD (unfortunately with no special features whatsoever) at a bargainous £5.99 from hmv.co.uk, £5.97 from amazon.co.uk and £5.49 from play.com. All in all Emma is wonderful cinematic adaptation of a witty and enduring novel. I would heartily recommend... Read review
