I have not read the Jane Austen novella this is based on but it was a nice simple movie that I don't think will remember a week from now. I really enjoyed the character introductions. They would show them with title cards as they stood outside the house. It seems like a simple thing but it was nice device that also gave you a little introduction to what the character might be like. The actual story is nothing of note. There's some romantic and marriage drama but the dialogue is fun throughout. Kate Beckinsale and Chloë Sevigny play off each other well. Tom Bennett is enjoyable in this if only to see other characters react to him. All in all, I wouldn't make a point to watch this but if it shows up on TV it's worth a watch.
