Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Peggy Blackwell Th.e actors seem to do a good enough job acting, but the story line is simply lacking. While the lead actress is attractive, her character is built around her ability to think quickly and use her words to twist situations to her benefit and to lie in amazing ways. The problem is her wording is confusing and her talking is all there is to her character--using her words in manipulative ways. The movie is somewhat boring. I also did not like that characters were introduced as they appeared in the movie, by listing their names and something about them, such as their relationship to someone. That seems to be another evidence that the movie was not written well enough to show the relationships in scenes.

dissident320 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.

Ian (Flash Review)Hard to make an easy fun period piece with neat costumes and settings bland but they did it. The story was told through lightly comedic and typical period dialog yet the story was never moved along by other means. It would have been more effective if at least some of the story was told through visuals; making the user think and engage. The story is about a divorced woman who is visiting various estates to find a wealthy enough suitor for herself as well as her daughter. She has the look and the intelligence to work her charms. It was OK but never really funny and never really enthralling enough to make you care.

Boolean_Chants I was very pleased by this movie, it was simply lovely.I admit to being extremely surprised by Stephen Fry popping up on screen (I hadn't looked at the actor list prior to watching it). He was awesome, as usual, the only criticism I have of his inclusion was that he simply didn't have enough screen time...The one thing I simply don't understand is the name of the movie. Jame Austen wrote two main stories in her youth (all of these stories together are called her 'Juvenilia'). One was 'Lady Susan', the other 'Love and Friendship'. This movie is the story of 'Lady Susan', but it's called 'Love and Friendship'.It's like making a movie of 'Pride and Prejudice' and calling it 'Sense and Sensibility'. Other than that incredibly annoying point, it's a great movie and quite fun.
