The Dashwood sisters, sensible Elinor and passionate Marianne, learn that their prospects of marriage seem doomed by their family's sudden loss of fortune. After Henry Dashwood dies unexpectedly, his estate must pass on by law to his son. These circumstances leave Mr. Dashwood's wife and daughters without a home and with barely enough money to live on.

Good adaption. I just felt Emma T was too old to play Elinor, but other than that enjoyable.

Amazing cast, costumes and scenery were perfect. Would have never guessed Ang Lee was director, or that Thompson wrote the screenplay.
