It is quite a good movie and doesn´t stray far from the book at all. It kept all the necessary characters and basic plotline. I just finished reading the book a few days ago and couldn´t wait to watch this (again - I last saw it when it came out in ´95) but I have to say that seeing Emma Thompson play a 19 year old just wasn´t the right choice. If she had to play a part it should have been the mother, they could have aged her a bit and it would have been perfect. After reading the other reviews I know this will be an unpopular opinion but really, isn´t it a bit much to have a 36 year old plain woman playing a 19 year old beauty? Because Elinor was supposed to be very good looking, just not as stunning as her younger sister. Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant were both absolutely gorgeous in their roles.
