Cold Comfort Farm Reviews

Great movie, very funny
Cold Comfort Farm is a great movie. Absolutely hilarious. A little different from the book, but I actually liked it better, though both are good. All the actors are perfect in their roles.

Comic Classic Brought Flawlessly to the Screen
Cold Comfort Farm is a hilarious film that is remarkably faithful to the plot (one character does ends up with a different mate than in the book but it actually makes more sense) characters and spirit of the novel. The film is perfectly cast. Kate Beckinsale is especially good as our heroine, Flora Poste, who is unflappable and efficient at tidying up the many messes at Cold Comfort. Ian McKellen is also unforgettable and hysterically funny as Amos, the fire and brimstone preacher/farmer. All the other actors fulfill their roles well and without a hint of the self-consciousness too often seen in film satires. The British accents are sometimes a bit difficult for Americans to understand but fortunately the DVD comes with close captioning so the viewer doesn't miss a word of the clever script. The special features are almost nonexistant except for the trailer and a couple of "recommendations" but who cares when the film is so special and enjoyable?
