Like the recent take on David Copperfield, this latest adaptation of Emma finds the right balance between respectful costume/period drama and a modern-day sensibility and makes for very enjoyable viewing indeed. Indeed, the strength is in the writing here, and a game cast delivers it with relish. Not only is the film strewn with entertaining performances, it is to be applauded that such a female-centric enterprise also does very well by its male characters. If you never thought you would laugh out loud at a costume drama of this type, think again.
