    This was a really fun and hilarious film. Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams were awesome, and it was great to see a marriage portrayed as positive, as well the triumph of the movie being about having kids.

    Also, the direction/cinematography was way better than a movie like this deserves to be. Really creative and interesting shots, this alone brings it up a star.

    This was a fantastic adaptation of Jane Austen's excellent comedy. The core actors were spot on, especially Taylor-Johnson as the titular character. Bill Night was perfect casting as the hilariously paranoid and qwerky Mr. Woodhouse. Production and costuming was amazing, and the music was awesome. Also, the cinematography was beautiful—turns out an excellent professional photographer makes a great director.

    I was pleased to find this wasn't a dumb, modern, chick-flick & feminist interpretation of Austen. Mr. Knightley's discipline of Emma was well done, and Emma's repentance to her father was a great addition.
