Okay, I'm a big Jane Austen fan. JJ Field and Felicity Jones are absolutely perfect. Of course, the book is the ultimate way to experience the story, but I loved this adaption as well. For one thing, it's wonderfully cast. I thought the dream sequences were very clever and worked with Catherine's character. However, reading the book afterwards, I was pleasantly surprised by how close to the book the movie really is. It's one of my favorites. As to the other liberties taken, they were minor and/or accurate with what I think Ms.

The only differences are, of course, the imagined dream sequences and proposal scene, and slight variations towards beginning and towards the end. I watched this movie before I read the book, because I expected the movie would disappoint me, and I knew I would be constantly comparing if I watched it after reading Ms. Austen's masterpiece. I strongly recommend at least renting or borrowing this adaption. Austen would envision. I can't think of a single person that doesn't fit the character they play.

The acting was great and Catherine acted extremely well. Overall, I was pleased to see another of Austen's novels come to life. I think this movie was very good. I haven't read Austen's novel in a very long while, so I cannot say how exact the movie is to the novel. However, there are some comical parts and the ending is truly a happy one.

I loved the way they captured Catherine's dramtic imagination, and they really caught the horribleness of John Thorpe and his sister Isabella. The actor who played John Thorpe was not good looking either. He played his part well. I really enjoyned Masterpeiece Theatre's Northanger Abbey. Anyway, I really enjoyed this movie and felt it stayed true to Jane Austin's version of the story "Northanger Abby" So there is no way you could possible like this person. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the actor who played Henry Tilney, but he was such a good actor that his looks grew on you and you really ended up liking him.

For someone who has not read the book, the movie was very interesting with an unexpected twist. And as always, Jane Austen delivers a happy ending.

The actors were convincing and showed great depth of character. I thought the story was interesting from beginning to end. I didn't want it to end and I wish there was a sequel. It was well worth the price I paid. I was not familiar with this particular story and I was so pleased with the ending.
