austen lover
fan2009  from Queens, NY,  Apr 30, 2008
This is not a very good version of S&Sensibility, not very well acted, and the timing is off. Hugh Grant was very disappointing, and so was Emma Thompson. There was no chemistry between the 2 actors. Stick to the BBC version instead, that is a much superior adaptation.

I went to school in England. Everynight we watched these movies in the basement of our dorm, a former abbey (no ghosts) and fell in love with the stories. You will too. I watch these on nights when TV gets too gruesome, dark or silly.

This is not a fast-paced rock 'em, sock 'em movie that my husband enjoys (he fell asleep half way through the movie), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a good movie for a girl's night.

This movie is a great classic love story and one of my all time favorites. Overstock has great prices and the shipping is affordable and I get my orders very quickly. Thanks, Overstock!

Very well made movie. Beware that it's an adaptation from the novel, not matching the novel EXACTLY.

Austen had a way of developing her characters (especially matriarchal figures) that is humorous for one's ability to relate to such. Even knowing where things will ultimately head, one "enjoys the ride" to the conclusion. Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, and Hugh Grant shine in this understated, controlled version of a true literary classic.

Sense and Sensability
kramer  from north Alabama,  Sep 7, 2007
I love all Jane Austen stories. This film is enjoyable, even though Emma Thompson was at least a decade too old to play this lead role. And Hugh Grant? Ugh! The rest of the cast -- especially Kate Winslet -- were excellent which makes it well worth owning.

Sense and Sensibility
hdc1  from Minnesota,  Jun 12, 2007
I love this movie. The old VHS tape had worn out...so ordered the DVD. Hollywood does a good job telling Jane Austen's story of 2 sisters with very different personalities. They learn through life experiences that balance is good.

What a Lovely Story
SweetMarie  from Amarillo, TX, USA,  Apr 3, 2007
Prompt delivery, perfect condition. Thanks, Overstock! This movie is based on a Jane Austen novel, the screenplay is by the very talented Emma Thompson, the cast is all-star, and the director is Ang Lee; there's no way this movie wouldn't be great. With Alan Rickman as Colonel Brandon--well, he's the icing on the cake.

I love this movie. It is a wonderful story about a family of sisters in England. Emma Thompson does an ourstanding job as the oldest sister. It is a beautiful love story and well worth watching.

I loved the movie! especially because it was in many different languages and i can share it with people who don't speak english like my mother. The movie was in very good condition and i am considering buying more movies from overstock.
