Love and Friendship adapts Austen's epistolary novel Lady Susan into a romp about a widow who is hilariously ruthless about finding her daughter a match. Susan isn't your typical Austen protagonist: she loves a good scheme, and she throws everyone around her off-balance in the process. Kate Beckinsale seems to have a ball playing the mischievous role, which only adds to the movie's appeal.
