a a romantic comedy and this be a good film . the acting be fairly good particularly johnny lee miller and who make an excellent edmund . but the story be not that of jane austen wonderful novel . the fanny price of the novel be a delicate wallflower and intelligent and warm but extremely timid . in the film and she feisty and strong willed and independent and almost rebellious . fanny price be not confident and witty while she be shy and thoughtful . this new fanny may fit modern sensibility and but i be severely disappointed while by completely alter the main character and the whole story seem different . i should very much like to see an adaptation of the novel that remain as faithful to the book a the bbc excellent mini series version of pride and prejudice ( the colin firth or jennifer ehle version ) or emma ( with kate beckinsale and not the gwynneth paltrow version ) . if you want a romantic movie and go for it . but if youre an austen fan and you might want to stay clear .
