Rating: - Good But Not Great
This was an enjoyable movie, but not the same quality as a BBC adaptation. It's easy to see this is a made for TV movie. It makes for a fun new flick to watch, but not one I'd rush out to add to my collection. Instead try North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell, NOT Patrick Swayze) or Wives and Daughters - two delightful period pieces VERY well done by BBC.

Rating: - Enjoyable but average
This is an enjoyable and well made romance even if a little formulaic and definitely predictable. I was amazed to read on the dvd that this was written by Louisa M Alcott, but it is explained a bit when I read in here that she was 17 at the time.

For the first time, I feel a bit mislead by the ratings ... Read More

The music hit me first off, verrrry cheesy/low budget, and was often times distracting.
The acting was theatrical and forced on the part of almost ... Read More

Rating: - A good girlie movie!
Well, I bought this movie from the recommendation of others. As I live in Australia, I can't get it here so rely very much on the excellent ratings of everybody else at Amazon. Well, girls you haven't let me down. I love period movies, and this one didn't disappoint. I fell in love with the whole Hamilton family. The girl who played Edith was so convincing and showed an natural inner beauty that you couldn't help but fall in love with her. I can see why Ida was so jeolous of her. I won't go into the details ... Read More
