oh she's beautiful! i'll have to see this. i've only seen the masterpiece theater/billie piper version.

I don't think it's as remarkably good as Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility but I still love it. The cast is great, it's pretty, I love the score. There's something so comforting to me about all of them.

I haven't seen the Billie Piper version. Is it worth watching? I have problems taking this guy seriously which has made me reluctant to watch despite Billie's presence.

i don't know who that guy is, but it's not bad. its biggest problem is that there's not really a sense of the passing of time. but billie's really sweet and innocent and adorable in it.

I know people are are gahgah for Pride and Prejudice, but this and Emma are my favorite adaptations of Austen's work.

I adore this adaptation! It's so pretty and the story is so lovely that you find yourself swooning over kissing cousins. haha
