• An enjoyable production, but it has its flaws
  I have yet to see a perfect film or television adaptation of Northanger Abbey, but this one probably comes as close as any. It has its flaws, particularly in some of the screenplay. This has its weaknesses particularly in the dialogue, although I suppose this is inevitable when one tries to condense a novel into 93 minutes.

  Yes, it was witty and enjoyable. I am glad that I have added this to my Austen Collection. Loved the photography in Bath. I wasn't so impresed with the acting but overall a good interpretation. Our Jane was quite a racy woman.

• fantastic- especially for those who dont want anything heavy!
  really really good- a classic period drama.
  a very good buy if you are a teenager trying to widen reading etc, my advice is watch this first then read the novel. it's fairly light and short, and the dvd is really easy to understand and touching.
  really nice to watch, i loved it.
  go buy it!!
