I love period movies. Sense and Sensibility? One of my favorites. This was an exceptionally horrible production that stills-6 reviewed in a way I cannot top. Maybe the story was good, but this was so bad I won't even find out if Eliot wrote a good story and these clowns botched it. Anyone that gave this 8 stars had to be stoned or drunk.
And now IMDb tells me my review isn't long enough, so I will have to rehash previously commented issues instead of providing a succinct "avoid this movie" warning: it's like they filmed the pile of storyboards and forgot to fill in the actual story. Not sure if this is a spoiler, but I sat for an hour and all if a sudden Whatsits is in love with Maggie? Huh? Maybe I don't get 1820 (supposedly), but he saw her across a room three times and they're off on a boat to go to Whoknowswhere for some reason that seems to be "the BBC didn't want a movie longer than 2 hours".
