DVD Reviews of Cold Comfort Farm
DVD Review: One of Britian's Best
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen this move many times but finally found it on dvd. Highly recommended to any Anglophile who loves witty comedy.DVD Review: Quirky English Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
As someone who is dealing with being in the Sandwich Generation, this was just the movie I needed for a good laugh at the intricacies of family dynamics, dealing with the aging matriarch, old "rules", etc. This young woman sets their world on end in the best of ways! DVD Review: Fantastic Movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most delightful movies my husband and I have watched in some time. Kate Beckinsale excels as a near penniless society girl, who has lost her parents and has to choose among several eccentric relatives, with whom to live. She hates things "untidy", and makes it her mission to try to re-do the lives of persons, who in her opinion, need made over. The family of relatives she chooses, their antics, and her attempts at "fixing" their lives is hilarious. This is a must see movie, and if you are concerned about language, there is only one bad word that I noticed, but you might want to hide the children's eyes from one adult situation. Over all a five out of five for us!! We have already watched it at least five times!! Loved it!!DVD Review: Delightful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cold Comfort Farm is the type of sly, witty ,humane,eccentric type of comedy that Americans don't make and the British do superbly! A satire on gloomy English novels this movie is fun even if you don't recognize all the characters or novels that are being satirized. ( I was clueless) on most).
This movie charms , delights, and surprises from beginning to end!
All the acting is wonderful but special praise must be devoted to the luminous presence and great acting of Kate Becksindale! This is the first film of hers that I saw and I have never forgotten it or her!
Get this movie ,enjoy & share with friends but whatever you do- don't look out in the shed - 'ya might see something nasty out there!"
One other warning: At times this movie is a reminder of the old saying that America & Britain are two nations separated by a common language. I found some phrases and accents tough to understand at times but it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the movie.
DVD Review: There's always been Starkadders.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent movie... interestingly some of the reviews state that this is not a funny movie. These must be written by people who, after being told a joke, need to then have it explained to them.
The Characters in this film are great...strange, and amusing.
If you appreciate dry English humour, then this is a film you will want to add to your library.
Description of Cold Comfort Farm
When orphan Flora Poste descends on her eccentric relatives at Cold Comfort Farm, she finds nothing but chaos and sees it her duty to restore order.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG
Release Date: 1-JUL-2003
Media Type: DVD
This hilarious spoof on British costume dramas based on great literature stars Kate Beckinsale (Much Ado About Nothing) as a strong-willed, young woman named Miss Flora Poste, who finds herself orphaned and without means in the 1930s. Moving in with some half-savage relatives on a country farm, Flora is hardly daunted by their primitivism (as she might have been in a novel by Thomas Hardy) but instead takes charge and imposes hygiene, order, and good manners on the dirty, superstitious lot. John Schlesinger directs this brisk, infectious adaptation of the 1932 novel by Stella Gibbons. Beckinsale is wonderful, and the rest of the savvy, inspired cast perfectly send up a host of literary clich?s. --Tom Keogh
