In adapting Jane Austen's novella, director Whit Stillman brings his own brand of ironic humour to the dazzlingly sharp wit of Ms Austen. A stand out cast but Tom Bennett's aristocratic buffoon is a hoot!

Such a great movie! I really liked it, indeed. Although there are some boring parts and very, very long dialogues, the production carries a tone of irony such as Jane Austen would write. Still thinking about my rating. But I can assure you it's not a waste of money or time.

Based on a Jane Austen novella, Love & Friendship is a rather fun and witty comedy. The story follows a scandal ridden young widow name Lady Susan who goes to live with her sister-in-law in the countryside and works to get her daughter married off. Kate Beckinsale leads the cast and gives an excellent performance, masterfully delivering the satiric humor. And the director does a great job at keeping the tone lighthearted and whimsical. While not the usual Jane Austen fare, Love & Friendship has a quirky sense of humor that’s quite charming in its way.

Whit Stillman’s film is based on the short novel by Jane Austen is not billed as an all-out comedy but it certainly should make most viewers laugh from beginning to end. With Tom Bennett coming in all guns blazing as Sir James Martin a distant relative of Tim ‘Nice but Dim’ surely the laughs a More

**A mother's quest to find a perfect man for her beloved daughter!**

I am not the audience for it and I realised that only after watching it. There's no other way, besides, I like Kate Beckinsale a lot and don't want to miss it out. I like periodic drama, those colorful costumes, horse riding, pr More
