the more i view this film the more i chuckle . it be well write and clever and delightful and downright fun . strangely enough and it wasn not until a 5th or 6th viewing that it finally dawn on me . i have see this story before jane austen emma . only this time flora ( kate beckinsale seem make for these emma role ) get it right with her meddling and matchmaking . 20th century austen . and the entire cast be stellar . need some cheer up . then visit cold comfort farm . there be nothing chill about this rural route .
