rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author thevoid99 - Still popular for many years, the novels of Jane Austen has been ready by countless readers throughout the years. One of Austen's most popular novels is her first published novel called Sense & Sensibility released in 1811. The novel tells...

mvie mu-1068832: The chickiest of chick flicks

Wed, 7 Jan 2009 12:45:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Chad9976 - I don't understand why a film made with a lot of class, and set in historical time settings are considered so great (or at least present themselves as such). "Sense & Sensibility" is another one of those films, but it's not that it's bad, it's just a...

mvie mu-1068832: Sense and Sensibility - As Good or Better Than the Novel

Sat, 17 May 2008 20:22:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author AliventiAsylum - My time in high school was before the rediscovery of the novels of Jane Austen. Perhaps that was good, because I didn’t go into viewing some of the more modern film adaptations of her novels with any preconceived notions about how they should be. In...

mvie mu-1068832: Hugh Grant Like You've Never Seen!

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:08:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author duckbooks - Quiet, humble, and sweet. If you are a Grant fan, it's worth watching him in this film just to see that he can portray these qualities, too, and not just the womanizing, slick, smart-mouthed characters you are used to. OK, on to the actual movie. I...

mvie mu-1068832: A great "Chick Flick"

Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:04:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pootzygirl - I admit it, I love this movie, for so many reasons. Set in England, in the years before women could earn their own money, this is Jane Austen's story of sisterly devotion and the lessons of romance. Kate Winslet (Marianne) and Emma Thompson (Elinor)...

mvie mu-1068832: It's Only Sensible to Love This Movie

Thu, 20 Oct 2005 01:52:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author befus - There's a tiny but brilliant scene early on in 1995's Sense and Sensibility, that for me, sums up so much of the film's warmth and genius. Willoughby, the handsome and dashing suitor of young and passionate Marianne Dashwood, is visiting at the...

mvie mu-1068832: To Love is to Burn, to Be on Fire!

Fri, 1 Apr 2005 22:08:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author metalluk - I cherish Jane Austen's novels. The best of the adaptations rank among my all-time favorite films. There are five adaptations I consider to be better than the others. I've previously raved about three of those: P

mvie mu-1068832: See it! It's an "excellent notion" to quote the movie itself!

Tue, 14 Aug 2001 23:16:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author suepera - I immediately fell in love with this movie when I saw it the first time. The award winning (just about every award, Oscar, BSFC, BFCA, Golden Globe & more!) screenplay by Emma Thompson is absolutely perfect! She truly did a masterful job & was worthy of...

mvie mu-1068832: Senseless to miss this rare gem

Tue, 22 May 2001 23:59:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author akamystic - This is one of my all time endearing favorites.

The Victorian period that it takes place in, the location where the film was made. The beautiful costumes, gorgeous ornate settings and backdrops coupled with strong gifted actor’s sets the pace for an...

Tue, 15 May 2001 15:55:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arianej - I don't watch movies often, but every once in a while, I get a craving for Jane Austen in movie form. This is usually satisfied by watching the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. But, I do also enjoy...

mvie mu-1068832: Sensibilities and Senses, along with Love and Devotion

Fri, 13 Apr 2001 01:46:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author telynor - It may look like from the con comments that I did not like this film. Quite the opposite! It has turned into one of my favorites -- and each time I watch it, the more I enjoy it.

All of Jane Austen's novels dealt with class, manners and were...

mvie mu-1068832: Sense and Sensibility: It Makes Sense to See It!

Fri, 26 Jan 2001 04:38:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author serc - I first saw Sense and Sensibility before it was released to general theaters in 1995. We bought our tickets early, which turned out to be a good plan; when we returned to the Uptown Theater in Minneapolis, there was a line 4 or 5 feet wide that...

mvie mu-1068832: A Well-Done Romantic Tale

Fri, 2 Jun 2000 12:02:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chris.swann - "Sense and Sensibility" is rare for a period movie in that it does not require an audience to know any historical background in order to understand, let alone appreciate, the film. Anyone who watches "Sense and Sensibility" can...

mvie mu-1068832: Good actors

Sat, 15 Apr 2000 15:04:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author 11korset - I saw this movie on TV. And it was very sweet and a romantic movie. But after a while it got boring, so if you are the type that likes to watch action don`t ever watch this. It is about two sisters the one thinks with her brain and the other thinks with...

mvie mu-1068832: Better than I thought it would be!

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 19:03:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author poemwriter1 - I found this movie accidentally about three years ago while attending a convention for a company I worked for at the time. I recognized the title form previews I had seen recently and realized it was adapted from the novel by Jane Austen. Having read the...

mvie mu-1068832: You Don't Have to Like Victorian to Like this Movie

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 12:44:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sungmin_nam - I got into Jane Austen's novels when I was in China, and the only English books worth reading were the literature books you had to read in high school and college. I really got into her books though, and so it was obvious that when a new rendition of...

mvie mu-1068832: Emma's Sense is Good Sense

Thu, 16 Dec 1999 17:42:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author teresah - Emma Thompson's production of Sense and Sensibility is truly a beautiful film. It portrays the follies of the time and still preserves the innocence and quality of the two sisters, Elinor and Marianne, for whom the movie is entitled.
