Summary: Persuasion
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed the DVD. It is exactly what a "romantic" would love. It is what a romance should be about.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I love Persuasion--it's one of my favorite of Jane Austen's. So I was looking forward to this version since I'm not a huge fan of the Amanda Root version.
But is it too much to ask that they try to follow Jane Austen's story line? Since it holds together? I was going along with it until the end when I realized there's no motivation for how the characters are acting. Because they didn't follow the story line--misplacing conversations and events.
If you aren't a huge Persuasion fan and you are a fan of costume drama, this might work for you. But if you love the book, don't get your hopes up. And go watch Pride and Prejudice.

Summary: Great acting in favorite Jane Austen story
Comment: Persuasion is my favorite Jane Austen story and this movie does the story justice. The acting is suburb with the exception of Mary & Elizabeth who overdo a bit. Although it does not remain true with the novel in the strictest sense, Miss Austen's concepts remain true...they get their second chance. Very touching movie filmed at great locations.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Sweet!
Comment: Before I bought the movie, I read the reviews on it. I have to admit, after some of them I was scared to buy it fearing that it would be a total disappointment. However, I went for it anyways! And I am SO pleased that I did!! It was incredibly sweet and appealing! The actors did a terrific job of putting you in the moment, especially through the tension and sadness of the events. In fact I love this movie so much, I am now back on the amazon.com site to buy a copy for my mom for mother's day!
... Yes! It's that good!
