A very Hollywood Austen adaptation, the least on-target in terms of feel. Gwyneth Paltrow looks good as the title character, although I don’t like her performance at ALL as much as I like Kate Beckinsale in the BBC version. The costuming is VERY mishmash “Regency-esque.” The only real outstanding notes are Greta Scacchi (always fabulous), and Jeremy Northam makes a more dashing and handsome Mr. Knightley than Mark Strong in the 1996 BBC version (of course, Strong is probably a lot closer to Austen’s writing the character).
