Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
This hilarious spoof on British costume dramas based on great literature stars Kate Beckinsale (Much Ado About Nothing) as a strong-willed, young woman named Miss Flora Poste, who finds herself orphaned and without means in the 1930s. Moving in with some half-savage relatives on a country farm, Flora is hardly daunted by their primitivism (as she might have been in a novel by Thomas Hardy) but instead takes charge and imposes hygiene, order, and good manners on the dirty, superstitious lot. John Schlesinger directs this brisk, infectious adaptation of the 1932 novel by Stella Gibbons. Beckinsale is wonderful, and the rest of the savvy, inspired cast perfectly send up a host of literary clichés. --Tom Keogh

This film is an amazing British comedy of ridiculousness. If you have a bit of an odd sense of humor then this film is for you.

Didn't expect much, was recommended by a co-worker. Very funny with a set of characters that were all so intereting in their own right that you couldn't help but love them! Highly recommend ths one!

Did not what to expect but found it very entertaining. Kate Beckinsale'role very similar to her role in Emma.

This is one of my very favorite films, and I'm so glad to have a copy on DVD now. If you like Jane Austen, quirky Brittish films, or oddball humor, this movie is for you!
