    Outlandishly fun! Kate Beckinsale leads this cast of enduring offbeat characters set in England's countryside. It's a truly charming and delightful movie full of laugh out loud catchphrases like "I saw something nasty in the woodshed" and "Robert Poste's child." Watch the movie and you'll know just how funny they are! I give it two thumbs up!

    This is a wonderful movie, there's not a moment of sadness in it. And it's filled with humour.
    I have lived in a similar farm myself in northern Sweden for a few years, where time stood still and people were conservative and gloomy and most sons were single. Unfortunately for me my impact on that farm wasn't as successful as Miss Poste's, so I left the farm at last.
    I must say I love this fairytale farm story more than my real-life experience!

    This film is a lot of fun and has a cast of brilliant British actors.

    Everyone is great, but especially fun is the cameo by Joanna Lumley as the Aunt with a passion for bustiers & bra's. And when I say "passion" I mean that she has a vertiable museum of them in her home and speaks about them each as if they were her lovers.

    I saw something nasty in the wood shed!

    It has some parts in it that we can't watch, but it is a very amusing movie with quirky people and it's fun.

    Odd movie, odd characters, odd time...very enjoyable, hard to understand the thick accents sometimes.

    I loved this movie! The character "Grandma" is the dramaqueen and just lovely in a hardcore kind of way. I´m a sucker for costume drama´s, and now I have another one to add to my list of inspiring movies.

    A recently orphaned young woman goes to live with relatives who are, to say the least, eccentric. You also get to see Joanna Lumley feel up a mannequin. An amusing piece of British self-mockery with a wonderful generosity at it's heart.

    Funny and rediculous. "I saw something nasty in the woodshed. What did you see? I can't remember...but it was nasty!"

    This is a quirky but cute movie about a snoby orphan who goes to visit relatives and turns everything upside down. One thing to note; the movie brings up one or two things and then never follows up on them, but other than that, it's cute.

    The campy, sincere kitsch of this movie just blows my mind. I loved the costuming and dialogue, and have pages of outfits from this movie sketched out, and quotes from the saucy ladies. Bowler's hats, appropriate matches, and fabulous one-liners!

    Was rather good! Slightly old looking (filming-wise lol and costume-wise of course)...I love the crazy eccentrics though and granma whatever her name is is grand!

    Yes, it's a weird movie, but it's absolutely hilarious, and the guy playing Seth (Rufus Sewell) is GORGEOUS, though he's a creep in the beginning.

    A faithful adaptation (except for a little re-shuffling of romantic partners) of one of my favorite books.

    A strange movie, but funny, nonetheless. The contrast of her cheerful optimism contrasted with the gloom and doom of the rest of the household is hilarious, and the way she just waltzes in and fixes up their lives left me chuckling. Not as hysterically funny as I'd heard it was, but still a really good movie.

    Marvelously overdramatic comedy that shows us U.S. residents where our hillbillies came from. See it again and again.

    One of the most bizzare, yet inspiringly quirky movies ever.

    P.S. I saw something nasty in the woodshed...
