I recently brought the video wondering whether I was going to like it seeing as I don't usually like "Rom-coms" however I laughed all the way through. Renee is great as Bridget the ultimate singleton, she plays Bridget in a very likeable and realistic way. The other performances are good but you can't help but feel that some need more experience playing different sorts of characters as apposed to just the one all the time. Although it is obvious that it is loosely based on P+P the story is changed so that it is modern and you can identify more fully with the heroine who is more open than Lizzy in P+P. The film is very loosely based on the novel but instances re: tarts and vicars etc remain as well as new laughs. Okay so yes I am a girl as many will wonder before writing this off as a "chick-flick" but you don't need to be a girl to enjoy this, just your sense of humour.

Never really watched other wainright series "at home with the braithwaights." but this is magnificant. Two main stars are brilliant. In this modern version of wuthering heights the roles of cathy and heathcliff are swapped. The son of a doctor and the abused daughter of a local alcoholic farmer have a passionate obsessive love affair. Thwarted by his snobbish parents and some very personal home truths, the two are forced apart. He leaves to go to university. The events then take on both the Brontee and also more modern slants. The direction is fast paced and uses the moors in most scenes and is a piece of absolutely fantastic very grabbing television. Is just unmissable tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
