Customer Reviews of Emma (1996)
Great production of a book that lacks action! Once more, filmmakers are to be commende3d for taking an ordinary boring book and turning it into an interesting comedy. The story may vary greatly from what the book was intended to express but I liked the premise of the movie. I finally read the book and was greatly surprised at the differences in it and the movie. The movie is the winner by far in my opinion. However, it doesn't matter. The movie is what the the producer had the right to make it ...a comedy instead of a story about a busybody who schemed to wreak havoc at every turn. <

>The poor little rich girl has nothing left to do after her governess gets married but to try to "repeat" her success at match making by hooking up the parson with a local girl. The whole thing backfires miserably, and Emma nearly loses her true and best friend in the process. <
> <
>There is so much in human nature and the nature of females during this time period that are still characteristic of women today. (Even though we have come a long way) I think the screenplay writers thought that it would be better to express the more positive sides of busy bodies given from the male perspective. Then one could understand the reasons why Mr. Knightly came to adore Emma. <

>The story was humorous and well written and the actors were all obviously selected to compliment one another. I loved Gwyenth Paltrow in this part and think she made an incredible character with or without any help from the "Emma" in Jane Austen's book.
Another great production of a 19th century novel!
The story may vary greatly from what the book was intended to express but I liked the premise of the movie. I have never read the book. However, it doesn't matter. The movie is what the movie is.

Enjoyable Movie
I found this version of Emma to be more enjoyable than the A&E production. I found the characters to be more charming and distinctive in their roles, especially that of Mr. Knightly. I enjoyed the subtle humor of this version. I think it deserves a higher overall rating.
