DVD Reviews of Cold Comfort FarmDVD Review: Cold Comfort Farm is wonderful Summary: 5 StarsThis is a terrific film Have seen it three times. Invited over some friends to watch the film with us. We howled with laughter at the doings of the family. What did she see in the shed? Love love love all the wild characters. Kate Beckinsale is lovely as the homeless orphan who "fixes" her weird and wonderful relatives. The Hollywood producer visiting and discovering Seth is a highlight of the film, as is the hilarious wedding scene.
DVD Review: Cold Comfort Farm Summary: 5 StarsOne of the all time best comedy/satires. This story ruined the genre of noble peasant writing and with good reason. Witty, clever, with great characters.Cold Comfort Farm
DVD Review: Delightful cast Summary: 5 StarsThis movie is an absolute delight. It's one of my favorites. And the cast is stellar! Kate Beckinsale is wonderful in the role of "Robert Poste's child." I find myself quoting lines from this movie all the time.
DVD Review: An Impossibly Fun Movie Summary: 5 StarsKate Beckinsale plays a character very similiar to her title role in "Emma" One wonders if this wasn't her audition for the role of Emma (or vise versa since I don't know which role came first!). Those of you who are familiar with the delightful "Vicar of Dibley" series, will no doubt recognize the actor who plays Ruben.
Stereotype casting of character actors aside, it was a fun movie full of colorful characters and crazy circumstances. Predictable, impossible and moving too fast to be even vaguely contemplated as possibly being within the realm of probability......just let yourself go with the flow and enjoy it.
Definately a highly recommended popcorn movie !!!!! : )
DVD Review: Amazing Comedy Summary: 5 StarsThis film is an amazing British comedy of ridiculousness. If you have a bit of an odd sense of humor then this film is for you.
Description of Cold Comfort FarmRural british eccentrics change their ways under the influence of a chic cousin from 1930s london. From the stella gibbons novel. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 07/01/2003 Starring: Sheila Burrell Stephen Fry Run time: 104 minutes Rating: Pg Director: John Schlesinger 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
