The charachters were well developed and expectedly stodgy considering the period. At the same time each charachter was funny/quirky in their own right. Cecil could not have appeared any more well starched and Lucy was both beautiful and had a wonderful sense of humor. Most every scene was beautiful - particularly the garden scenes. I recommend the movie for those who have an appreciation for that period in England and an appreciation for well shot beautiful backgrounds.

Please use caution when renting this movie. The description says it is rated PG, but it should be rated NC-17. There is one scene that contains full frontal male nudity and lasts for several minutes. If you were looking for something to watch with your family, do not rent this movie!

Well, the basis of the story is romantic but unless you need a sleeping pill, this movie isn't for you. Seriously slow.

The principal women are FANTASTIC. Rupert Graves hair was ridiculous and both Julian Sands & Daniel Day Lewis made my skin crawl--probably not what they were aiming for w/ the leading men.

This movie wasn't all that bad, the Emerson Elliot character didn't develop his love until late in the movie. The only thing I saw that resembled "a room with a view", was the exchange between Emerson and Helena where he advises her she is but property of her fiance. Too, the male nudity was completly stupid and unnecessary.

This is NOT the movie--this is a bonus disc that should accompany the film. Only the Special Features are on this disc. The blurb reads as if this is a special edition of the film, but it's JUST... Read More THE BONUS DISC, the special editions SECOND disc and it does NOT have the film on it. Very misleading. Wish I had known that. Who rents JUST the bonus disc?
