 One of the BEST movies of all times!, 2008-11-16
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!
One of Britian's Best, 2008-10-12
I have seen this move many times but finally found it on dvd. Highly recommended to any Anglophile who loves witty comedy.
Quirky English Fun!, 2008-09-30
As someone who is dealing with being in the Sandwich Generation, this was just the movie I needed for a good laugh at the intricacies of family dynamics, dealing with the aging matriarch, old "rules", etc. This young woman sets their world on end in the best of ways!
Fantastic Movie!!, 2008-08-13
This is one of the most delightful movies my husband and I have watched in some time. Kate Beckinsale excels as a near penniless society girl, who has lost her parents and has to choose among several eccentric relatives, with whom to live. She hates things "untidy", and makes it her mission to try to re-do the lives of persons, who in her opinion, need made over. The family of relatives she chooses, their antics, and her attempts at "fixing" their lives is hilarious. This is a must see movie, and if you are concerned about language, there is only one bad word that I noticed, but you might want to hide the children's eyes from one adult situation. Over all a five out of five for us!! We have already watched it at least five times!! Loved it!!

Delightful!, 2008-06-21
Cold Comfort Farm is the type of sly, witty ,humane,eccentric type of comedy that Americans don't make and the British do superbly! A satire on gloomy English novels this movie is fun even if you don't recognize all the characters or novels that are being satirized. ( I was clueless) on most).
This movie charms , delights, and surprises from beginning to end!
All the acting is wonderful but special praise must be devoted to the luminous presence and great acting of Kate Becksindale! This is the first film of hers that I saw and I have never forgotten it or her!
Get this movie ,enjoy & share with friends but whatever you do- don't look out in the shed - 'ya might see something nasty out there!"
One other warning: At times this movie is a reminder of the old saying that America & Britain are two nations separated by a common language. I found some phrases and accents tough to understand at times but it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the movie.
