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.
