It's very strange how *much* worse this version is than Ang Lee's in 1995. What fails at every turn is the screenplay, and also most of the casting. Between Willoughby and Marianne, between Edward and Elinor there is a glaring and utter lack of chemistry. This miniseries lacks the warmth, the heart, the pacing, the humor, the color and nuance. And my personal deepest pet peeve: the language is modernized. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. Go back and watch the movie from 1995.
