I am not a fan of Jane Austen's novels; actually, I've never read one. My knowledge of her books derives only from the two movies made of them that I have seen - this one and Pride and Prejudice. Although this film is not really one I would go out of my way to see again, I readily admit that it is well-done. The acting by Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, and the entire supporting cast is excellent. There is absolutely nothing I can fault about this movie. It's just not quite my cup of tea, and I probably will never see it again. That doesn't mean I don't admire the production and the actors. I can recognize a well-done film, even if I'm not a real fan of it.
