Delightful!

Cold Comfort Farm is the type of sly, witty ,humane,eccentric type of comedy that Americans don't make and the British do superbly! A satire on gloomy English novels this movie is fun even if you don't recognize all the characters or novels that are being satirized. ( I was clueless) on most).
This movie charms , delights, and surprises from beginning to end!
All the acting is wonderful but special praise must be devoted to the luminous presence and great acting of Kate Becksindale! This is the first film of hers that I saw and I have never forgotten it or her!
Get this movie ,enjoy & share with friends but whatever you do- don't look out in the shed - 'ya might see something nasty out there!"
One other warning: At times this movie is a reminder of the old saying that America & Britain are two nations separated by a common language. I found some phrases and accents tough to understand at times but it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the movie. June 21, 2008

There's always been Starkadders.....

Excellent movie... interestingly some of the reviews state that this is not a funny movie. These must be written by people who, after being told a joke, need to then have it explained to them.

The Characters in this film are great...strange, and amusing.

If you appreciate dry English humour, then this is a film you will want to add to your library. March 17, 2008

movie mad miss

This is a most ecclent example of british humor. Absolutly hillarious. My whole family quotes this movie frequently. I was very happy to find it for such a great price on Amazon.
If you are a person that likes a movie with dialogue that you pay attention to and that focuses on conversation humor not slap-stick then you really will love this film. March 11, 2008

A Twitter of a Movie

This is one to watch when you just need to FELL GOOD.
It's a twitter of a movie with a dash of brilliant camera work.
Totally worth watching again and again.

Just gets better with each viewing

Our family loves this movie. It is a *very* dry 1930's (when the book was written) commentary on idiocyncracies of human nature and societal class structure and stereotypes. Highly, highly recommend. February 1, 2008
