Pros: Excellent adaptation of Austen's novel. Cons: Most modern viewers will find it too slow and boring.
It may look like from the con comments that I did not like this film. Quite the opposite! It has turned into one of my favorites -- and each time I watch it, the more I enjoy it.
All of Jane Austen's novels dealt with class, manners and were...
Pros: story, pacing, acting, attention to period detail Cons: Emma Thompson too old for the role, storyline might ruffle modern women
My time in high school was before the rediscovery of the novels of Jane Austen. Perhaps that was good, because I didn’t go into viewing some of the more modern film adaptations of her novels with any preconceived notions about how they should be. In ...
Pros: Brilliant adaptation; romantic; funny; ingenious casting (especially Thompson and Rickman) Cons: Character-driven story will not appeal to everyone
There's a tiny but brilliant scene early on in 1995's Sense and Sensibility, that for me, sums up so much of the film's warmth and genius. Willoughby, the handsome and dashing suitor of young and passionate Marianne Dashwood, is visiting at the ...
Pros: Austen's themes; great lead and secondary performances; sets; costumes; emotional depth of the script Cons: The two most stylized performances (Grant and Rickman) won't be to every viewer's taste
I cherish Jane Austen's novels. The best of the adaptations rank among my all-time favorite films. There are five adaptations I consider to be better than the others. I've previously raved about three of those: P

Pros: Lee's Direction, Thompson's Script, Locations, Cinematography, Art Direction, Editing, Sound, Music, & Cast. Cons: Details Cut from the Book Might Upset Some Viewers.
Still popular for many years, the novels of Jane Austen has been ready by countless readers throughout the years. One of Austen's most popular novels is her first published novel called Sense & Sensibility released in 1811. The novel tells ...
Pros: breathtaking scenery, memorable performances by Alan Rickman and Kate Winslet
Cons: somewhat slow pace at times, stilted dialogue
I don't watch movies often, but every once in a while, I get a craving for Jane Austen in movie form. This is usually satisfied by watching the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth. But, I do also enjoy...
Pros: the cast, the costumes, the setting Cons: the story
I don't understand why a film made with a lot of class, and set in historical time settings are considered so great (or at least present themselves as such). "Sense & Sensibility" is another one of those films, but it's not that it's bad, it's just a ...
Pros: Incredible acting from the entire cast, intelligent script, happy ending. Cons: Some may complain it's outdated, but I disagree.
I admit it, I love this movie, for so many reasons. Set in England, in the years before women could earn their own money, this is Jane Austen's story of sisterly devotion and the lessons of romance. Kate Winslet (Marianne) and Emma Thompson (Elinor) ...
Pros: Marvelous story, acting, costuming, set... everything! Cons: Not for those who don't like period films or films made from literature.
I first saw Sense and Sensibility before it was released to general theaters in 1995. We bought our tickets early, which turned out to be a good plan; when we returned to the Uptown Theater in Minneapolis, there was a line 4 or 5 feet wide that...
Pros: Superbly adapted screenplay by Thompson and a perfectly cast ensemble! Cons: It's not "Rambo, first blood" -- or is that really a CON?
I immediately fell in love with this movie when I saw it the first time. The award winning (just about every award, Oscar, BSFC, BFCA, Golden Globe & more!) screenplay by Emma Thompson is absolutely perfect! She truly did a masterful job & was worthy of...
Emma Thompson's production of Sense and Sensibility is truly a beautiful film. It portrays the follies of the time and still preserves the innocence and quality of the two sisters, Elinor and Marianne, for whom the movie is entitled.

Pros: Excellent acting, not a stuffy or slow "period piece", romance and comedy Cons: Not for the unromantic or unsympathetic
"Sense and Sensibility" is rare for a period movie in that it does not require an audience to know any historical background in order to understand, let alone appreciate, the film. Anyone who watches "Sense and Sensibility" can...
Pros: Authentic Jane Austin masterpiece comes to life. Cons: You have to have some substance and an attention span longer than Robo-cop.
This is one of my all time endearing favorites.
The Victorian period that it takes place in, the location where the film was made. The beautiful costumes, gorgeous ornate settings and backdrops coupled with strong gifted actor’s sets the pace for an...
Emma Thompson stars in and scripted this wonderful romantic comedy, acclaimed nationwide as one of the very best movies of the year. The story of two ...More at HotMovieSale.com
