An excellent movie but did anyone notice this...

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2006)

The English movies, almost without exception, are signposts of acting perfection. The Brits know how to act, and they are proud of this reputation rings true in this movie too. Sadly, though I had trouble following the dialogue,almost hoping for subtitles, yes, in English.....of course it is never done, and I accept that. So I watched the movie twice to pick up the continuing story outline. Good,in its adaptation of the book, this screenplay was devoted to the emotional and romantic aspects of the life and times of the sisters and unfortunately played a little too long in that regard in my estimation. This is definitely a chick flick, and even with all its sophistication it had comedic highlights as well. I felt after viewing the DVD that I had eaten an Oriental dinner and a half hour later I was hungry for a more substantial story telling that would have carried me through an emotionally satisfying experience.
