Whoever adapted this for the screen did a BAD job. He left out some very important parts and just flat out changed others. This is my favorite Jane Austen novel, so any adaptation I see should be as true to the novel as possible. He turned Mrs. Smith into an insignificant, silly gossip and she was very important in the novel. If he was going to do this to her he should have just thrown her out all together. I also thought the casting of the main characters was very bad. He is too old and ugly to be Captain Wentworth and she is not pretty enough to be Anne. It is just a shame.
