I have to admit, Gwyneth Paltrow played the book's lithe, mellow, and feisty, noble lady tune. It's a pity that the other actors have chosen the wrong person, which seems to be out of proportion and loses the interest between the characters in Austen's novel. Harriet's casting was particularly bad, with the actresses trying so hard to play dumb that it was a headache.
The casual innuendo in the original book degenerates into self-righteous cleverness in the movie, and the natural humor in the original book looks funny and cartoony in the movie. But Paltrow is indeed the Emma in my mind, so let's give this film a pass.
