MR MALCOLM'S LIST BD

Well acted.

If you like period rom-coms, or novels or anything like that this is good to entertain yourself once in a while.

Wow the 1-star crowd was brutal. I almost didn't buy this because of their reviews. But I love British period films and I couldn't resist.The story isn't deep; some of the people connected as family were a merry mix of races that didn't match, which was distracting at first. A silly woke move that nobody is allowed to "see" any kind of color? I don't know or care. However, I decisively put that aside and said, "whatever". I'm glad I did because it was a light-hearted, predictable but entertaining nonetheless to watch for no other reason than to relax and watch it play out. The characters played their parts well and pretty much in the personality of the time. There were no "hot" sex scenes (thankfully); no modern-day political narratives forced into the story (thankfully) and no homosexual scenes to check that box (thankfully). I don't at all mind watching a movie just for the story, predictable or not; familiar or not. A simple, fun watch in a lesser vain as Austin's Emma, but with a bit of twist. Pretty much Malcolm has a list of criteria that a prospective wife must meet in order to be considered. One lovely, rather vain young woman gets crossed off the list and gets her nose out of joint. Enter her friend from childhood who is employed to carry out jilted woman's revenge plan to humiliate Malcolm. The movie revolves around the efforts and set-ups to that end. I knew in short order who was going to end up with who and pretty much what the results of their scheme would be, but it was enjoyable to watch it all play out anyway.I'm glad I bought it and feel my time wasn't wasted. Sometimes, IMO, when watching a movie, it's best to just relax and enjoy the ride, even if it's a ride taken before. Less criticism. Not everything has to be dissected to death and hold to absolute historical truth or even beat out the centuries of wrongs and horrors of the human race; does it have to drive home some divisive message; does it have to drive our blood pressure through the roof with adrenaline or violence? How about just getting some pop-corn and relax with a romantic little romp with some great scenery, excellent period costumes, beautiful grand homes, and simple playfulness? It really is okay to smile, even at the absurdities. It's a far better storyline than filling 2 hours with watching people having sex throughout the movie. Not exactly intelligent scripting there.

Pride and prejudice worthy. Love this romance story. Must see for the whole family. Victorian era.

As a fan of regency I loved this film, and I bought this copy for my mom for Christmas, but the case came with the corners crushed, so I ended up not giving it to her. I'll probably take my chances and order another one and just hope this one isn't broken. (I'll attach pictures when I can figure out where I put it.)

I enjoyed the book years ago and was tickled to see this movie adaption rival it for fun, entertainment value. I thought the ethnically diverse cast was well chosen to match the characters and the movie captured the essence of the book story.A wealthy woman of good family and connections in society knows she's a marital prize and only wants the best. She finds herself gently spurned by society's most eligible bachelor and an on dit of the Ton. She is furious when she discovers from her cousin that the man is arrogant enough to have a list of his perfect bride and she didn't meet up. Her plan of revenge is set in motion to use her quiet vicar's daughter friend to make Mr. Malcolm fall for the perfect woman.The tone stays light and there are humorous moments with a sweet and gentle romantic courtship. Definite recommend to historical romcom lovers.

Light, enjoyable, reminiscent of Jane Austen

Love this movie.

Dvd is niet afspeelbaar. Is voor Amerikaanse markt. Excuses hiervoor gekregen en mag uiteindelijk zelf nog 4,95 betalen om t product terug te sturen.

Not alot very good dvd

I watched this when it first came out on sky, and I’ve continued to constantly watch it since so decided. I definitely wanted my own copy of it, and the reason I brought the DVD

Funny, whitty and just so so cute! Loved it from beginning to end!I'm not normally a massive fan of period romances and it's rare that I like one as much as I do this one.

Quite well filmed and costumes were good but same old story so nothing new or exciting in storyline or screenplay.
