“Based on the novel by Jane Austin, u0026quot;Sense and Sensibilityu0026quot; the movie does not actually capture the characters and does not even attempt to address the philosophical question, sense vs sensibility that makes the book what it is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll the characters are there but the acting is insipid, the dialogue stilted and the directing amateur. Whoever did the costume should find another job because the dress of women who u0026quot;grew up going to golf tournaments and garden partiesu0026quot; looks like it came from Walmart. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatching awkward scenes with people who donu0026#39;t seem to have any feeling about what they are saying is embarrassing to say the least and I only left it on while I was busy in the kitchen or I would have had to switch it off. My husband already switched it off 5 minutes in after watching a character have a secretive conversation about her boyfriend while sitting a hand span away from him.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDonu0026#39;t waste your time.”
