DVD Reviews of Masterpiece Theatre: Northanger Abbey
DVD Review: Northanger Abbey
Summary: 4 Stars
Excellent. The talking was a little fast. I wish the movie had been longer.DVD Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
Although the acting was good enough, Jane Austen's original story is so cut down in this movie that you feel rushed through the plot the entire time. I kind of regret buying this movie because I don't know if I'll watch it again.DVD Review: Catherine's imaginings because of her love of Gothic novels was so amusing!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was such fun to watch. I really enjoyed how Catherine visualized herself in the Gothic scenes she imagined because she loved to read Gothic novels.Good humor,drama and beautiful scenery.
I really liked all the characters,except did not care for the unattractive and unappealing John Thorpe,nor his frequent use of the word d**n,and it was totally unbelievable and ridiculous to have Henry's character think that John Thorpe was better looking than himself,UGH!
Great points about the different facets of friendships and betrayal. Very engaging story,and I highly recommend Northanger Abbey for lovers of romance films.
DVD Review: Northanger Abbey
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie captures all the fun of Jane Austen's well-mannered parody of the gothic novel. If your significant other absolutely won't sit through the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, try this instead. The characters are cleverly drawn, the plot is engaging, and Catherine's social predicaments are both delightfully amusing and strikingly familiar. You certainly don't have to be a devotee of Miss Austen to enjoy Northanger Abbey, but if you are, you will not be disappointed by this faithful and lively rendition.DVD Review: cute
Summary: 4 Stars
it was very cute! the main characters are adorable around each other though i don't think that this Isabella is as good at the Isabella from the 80's version. and i don't think that mrs....mrs....the godmother gets much of a chance to show how silly about fashion she is. if you want to see the full length british version you can go to youtube.com.
Description of Masterpiece Theatre: Northanger Abbey
In Austen's gentle parody of gothic fiction, Felicity Jones (Meadowlands) plays romance addict Catherine Morland. Invited to a medieval country house that appeals to her most lurid fantasies, she forms a close friendship with the younger son on the estate, Henry Tilney (JJ Feild, The Secret Life of Mrs. Beeton), but their budding romance is mysteriously cut short. Adapted by Andrew Davies.Comedy DVDs
