I don’t often go for… ‘slushy’ movies, quite frankly. But sometimes the feelgood factor is much appreciated :) And this was really quite appealing – not too much slush, nothing too OTT, and a very impressive cast.

I do wonder if I may have gotten more from the movie if I actually knew more about the collected works of Austen – and I did leave with an urge to read Northanger Abbey! – but it still worked okay, with most relationship problems explored and, yes all resolved by the end of the movie, one way or another!
