This fine movie also has generated some fine reviews.here..notably the one entitled "jaded seniors".
Seniors...as in High School seniors--liked this movie!
The teacher who shows it to seniors says thateEven the guys ended up really liking this movie (to their great surprise)!
Sense and Sensibility (the book) is a bit wordy and the plot wanders a bit. Along with removing a few superfluous characters, the plot moves along a bit faster. Yet, the book's main themes and content are not stripped out...Those later reading the novel will still recognize the main characters and their struggles.
I glanced at a Roger Ebert review of this movie. He was a famous Chicago film critic. He didn't "get" this film...after all, there is personal taste. But many people...women AND men...will "get it"
S&S shows up regularly on big box DVD/Blu-ray shelves. It is about $5 US dollars (i.e. cheap).
For moms, grandmas...Consider pairing this movie with a Regency (i.e. Jane Austen) early 1800s empire dress....for your young daughter's favorite 18" doll. Might be a good way to introduce the 9-11 year old girl to Jane Austen!
