A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Like most Rosamunde Pilcher films, this is typical Pilcher love story,which is easy to watch,predictable,but never the less immensely entertaining.Furthermore I find that the film shows more of the superb Cornish landscape than most other productions(i.e.Wycliffe).That is one reason why I try to watch most Pilcher films.
