This is not the 1995 version with Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet...Ok I admit it's not as good as the Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle but I so enjoyed it. No matter....I can understand actor dynamics being poor. The 2005 (or later) version of the same movie (S&S) with Kiera Knightly was awful. I stopped watching half-way! Oh really?

I have seen it, a couple of times and just don't love it BUT I am looking forward to seeing it again close to a reading of the book. It's the actors - they just don't seem right - but I'll reserve judgement. You never know. :-) My favourite quote probably won't come until March as I think it's in volume 3 but you never know!

And don't keep me waiting too long....! I can't wait to hear your quote....Happy Austen reading.

I do love Sense and sensibility, and will rewatch the 1995 movie when I've finished this latest review. As I think I said on my response to you on my post, I have a favourite quote, but you'll have to wait until I get to volume 3!!
