Summary: horrible
Comment: this is the second worst movie that I have ever watched. I never saw anything as boring as this is. What a waste of money

Summary: Good Version
Comment: I like this version of Persuasion better than the recent Masterpiece Classic one. It tells the story in a much slower fashion and allows us to get to know the characters better. It has a wonderful romance and suspense appeal. My only complaint was with leaving out the important factors of Mrs. Smith's life with regards to her association with Mr. Elliot and how Captain Wentworth ended up saving her land and livelihood in the end. That was important to the novel and they left it out entirely; however, it is still a wonderful story as told in this version. I think Amanda Root portrayed Ms. Elliot even shyer and less assertive than the book character, but it was a very good portrayal even with this difference.

Summary: Great Jane Austin story
Comment: I was so glad to see this on DVD, because I have worn out my VHS copy.
This is a chick flick, and one of the best adaptations of Jane Austin's novel.
Enjoy!

Summary: One of Austen's best
Comment: Persuasion is my second favorite Austen book and movie. The story is wonderful, and this production is subtle and perfectly paced - just like the book. The choice of actors is perfect - just as I imagined when reading the book for the first time.

Summary: Review of Film Persuasion
Comment: Loved Amanda Root! Both she and Ciaran Hinds (her suitor) grow on you. The supporting cast makes it an excellent film. I really recommend it if you like Jane Austen romances. It was well done.
