Emma Thompson scores a double bull's-eye with this marvelous adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. Not only does Thompson turn in a strong (and gently humorous) performance as one of the Dashwood sisters--the one with "sense"--she also wrote the witty, wise screenplay. Austen's tale of 19th-century manners and morals provides a large cast with a feast of possibilities, notably Kate Winslet, in her pre-Titanic flowering, as Thompson's deeply romantic sister. Winslet attracts the wooing of shy Alan Rickman (a nice change of pace from his bad-guy roles) and dashing Greg Wise, while Thompson must endure an incredibly roundabout courtship with Hugh Grant, here in fine and funny form. All of this is doled out with the usual eye-filling English countryside and handsome costumes, yet the film always seems to be about the careful interior lives of its characters. The director, an inspired choice, is Taiwan-born Ang Lee, who brings the same exquisite taste and discreet touch he displayed in his previous Asian films (such as Eat Drink Man Woman). Thompson's script won an Oscar, and 1995 was a fine year for Jane Austen all around: Persuasion was made into an excellent picture, and Emma became the spritzy high school comedy Clueless. --Robert Horton

I bought this DVD accidentally. One moment I was looking to buy the DVD Persuasion, and the the next thing I realized I had ordered Sense & Sensibility. SO far I haven't decided what to do with the 2 I ordered.
A Review of Sense and Sensibility September 21, 2008
Another Jane Austen great! Emma Thompson was wonderful as Elinor. She embodied the ideal of "sensibility" in love. She deserved the Golden Globe award for "best screenplay". Alan Rickman as the "Colonel" was very impressive. I imagine it would be an actor's dream to act in one of Jane Austen's novels on screen.
I recommend this movie to anyone who loves a good, romantic film.
 Predictable September 9, 2008
The movie was very predictable.I think the story was great, but the cast didn't seem appropriate for the movie. Just have seen them in too many other movies. Their characters weren't believable.

Lovely movie that has adapted the novel to perfection. The characters are portrayed in such a way that you can't help but feel that you are there amongst them. One of the movies that you could watch time and again - comparing it to the actual novel has been a real pleasure.
Quick delivery August 17, 2008
