Watching this made me sleep like a baby.

Fantastically boring, especially considering the cast. But at least the costumes are pretty.

I don't know if they wanted to make the new Gone With The Wind, or just a lame Sense&Sensibility war-mix. This movie is just below average no matter what, and in all departments. Bad acting (I find Gabriel Byrne acceptable, though, just wanted more of him from first scene to the last), bad casting even more, simply or mostly because dear ol' Reese is TERRIBLE, really hate her. Worst: it is TOO long. TOO LONG. LISTEN. Cut off one hour, and we can talk. Then I might round 50. But probably not.

Amazingly good adaption of the classic love story with a good performance from Witherspoon.

A dissapointment on every level.

Beautiful costumes and sets, but the acting is average and the story wasn't really very new or interesting. Reese has been better in mainstream crap.

Good chick picture. As the only American in the cast, Reese Witherspoon fits the role pretty well, and gives a better performance than you'd think

this blows! hard.

Reese Witherspoon proves herself adept at playing a scheming British wannabe socialite in this too long period movie. It can get confusing to keep up with the story and all its characters, but as long as you try, it's a fairly involving drama.

Fellowes and Nair's take on Thackeray's classic does little to elevate it from an ordinary, dull and safe repetition of too many of its rise-out-of-poverty period film predecessors.

Reese I want to marry you.
