Customer Reviews of Northanger Abbey

The last scene makes it all worth while!
Northanger Abbey was the only Jane Austen book that I never read, having been told that it was boring and not worth my time. Therefore, I hesitated to see the movie, but once it started I couldn't stop it! I enjoyed it-- oh! so much! The character of Catherine Moreland with her wild imagination was delightful, reminding me so much of myself it was unreal. While the entire things was marvelous, the last scene was the best. As gorgeous Henry Tillney rides up through the mist, as he says beautiful things to Catherine such as "since you left us the white rose bushes died of grief," as a tear trickles down Catherine's cheek, and as they kiss-- the most pure, passionate kiss I've ever seen on film-- well, when it's over, you'll be on a high for the rest of the day. If only ALL romances were like that!

Disappointing!
This novel is my least favorite of Austen's work. However, I did expect to pleased when I sat to watch this video. I was thoroughly disappointed. This film was just plain silly.

A Jane Austen fanatic who loves this movie
As a devoted fan of Jane Austen's novels, I must say I love this movie. Although it's not a slavish attempt at recreating the book, the characterizations are very true to the book, and the movie successful embodies several of the book's themes. In addition, it works beautifully as a movie. The actors who play the leads bring their roles to life beautifully, and the character actors are wonderful.
