Weaker story than Emma, so weaker movie. Two sisters needing husbands. Our heroine loses her love to another . . . but wait . . . it was actually his brother who married. Jane Fairfax is tragic figure, forced to marry the shallow Willoughby even though she has great attributes. Marianne gets the Colonel, not Willoughby. She's sad but then realizes it's for the best. Our heroine (can't recall her name) gets Knightley--shy and perfect. Yawn
Weakest. Tommy is in prison. His son, Ryan, is now 17. Catherine the cop's sister, Clare, takes Ryan to visit Tommy in prison, without telling Catherine. Not good. Sisters have a break when Catherine finds out. Plot two: PE teacher, abusive to wife. She is getting drugs from local Indian/Pakistani pharmacist. Husband finds out and has wife arrested! Pharmacist worried . . . plots to kill husband. Wife agrees, then changes her mind. Pharmacist in a rage kills her. (All a bit of a stretch, as he is a mild mannered family man.) Tommy escapes from his court hearing, hides out, gets in touch with Ryan. Plan is to go to Marabella, Spain together. Tommy's "helpers" get worried about Tommy and decide to do him in. Instead, he kills them . . . and is knifed himself. He returns to Catherine's house, looks through a photo album showing Catherine took good care of Ryan, and decides not to kill her....
