Editorial Reviews

In this made-for-TV adaptation of Jane Austen's classic Emma, Emma Woodhouse (Kate Beckinsale) is a clever young woman from a wealthy family who fancies herself a matchmaker and tries to find a husband for her shy friend Harriet (Samantha Morton). However, Emma's skills in bringing romances together are not all she imagines them to be, which causes no small annoyance for Harriet. What's more, Emma's interest in the affairs of others nearly causes her to miss out on the love of her life. This adaptation of Emma was first shown in the U.S. on the A&E cable network; it followed both Douglas McGrath's acclaimed film version starring Gwyneth Paltrow, and Amy Heckerling's considerably updated variation on the story, Clueless.

Not as goodby Anonymous

April 29, 2009: Honestly I don't know why people like this Emma so much. It's not a very good version. The Gwyneth Paltrow Emma is so much better. Although I must say that Kate Beckinsale did a wonderfull job as Emma. I wouln't say don't waste your time watching this movie, because it is Emma, and I love the Emma story. And I did watch it, but I thought it would be good.

My Favorite Version of Emma!by JoannaTX

October 21, 2008: I own all three versions of Emma, and this one is my favorite. Kate Beckinsale makes a SUPERB Emma, leaving Gwyneth Paltrow miles behind. Though Jeremy Northam made a handsome and perfect Mr. Knightley, this guy playing Knightley - whoever he is - also does a fabulous job. You can feel you're watching a JA movie when you watch this one, unlike the other version. Even if you haven't read the book, you will enjoy this movie! A definate recommend.

I Also Recommend: Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Masterpiece Theatre's Northanger Abbey, Masterpiece: Mansfield Park, Jane Austen: Seven Novels (Library of Essential Writers Series).
