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

 BORING! July 26, 2010
L. K (USA)
This has to be the worst Sense and Sensibility movie. Emma Thompson was so boring and Hugh Grant had no emotion or heart. Had to watch a good version of Sense and Sensibility afterwards.
 a must have for your video library July 19, 2010

 Very enjoyable story. July 15, 2010

Sometimes you just need a good story (although old fashioned) and a lovable
hero and heroine. I love Emma, Kate and Alan Rickman anyway!

I've seen the movie before and really wanted to own it. I thought that I got it at a bargain price. It arrived in a timely manner and it was as described in the seller's ad. Seller communication was great. I enjoyed this transaction and walked away feeling good about this purchase
Love this movie! June 14, 2010
