My rating on a 1-10
scale: 8.5
Genre: Classic,
period drama
Primary actors: Sally
Hawkins, Rupert Penry-Jones
Length: About two
hours – therefore, slightly rushed
Based on: Persuasion by Jane Austen
Time period: 1800’s
Year it came out: 2007
My overall opinion: Unfortunately,
I neglected to take notes as I watched! However, I do know that we all enjoyed
it, and that I can recommend it! There were no objectionable scenes (as there
are in several of the newer Austen adaptions) – something I really appreciate. There’ll
be a little more information coming in my Doubles post…it’ll come someday. :) Also,
check out the comparisons done by a few of my blogging friends here on

While Persuasion isn't my favorite Austen novel, I did enjoy this adaptation. Though the 1995 version was probably closer to the book than this version, I felt that Sally Hawkins was a better Anne Elliot than Amanda Root.
Mmm...I like Persuasion. I think that Anne was supposed to look a little old-maidish, but I think they could have made her a little prettier. I really like Captin Wentworth in this version.
