4.0 out of 5 stars Not the book, but a good laugh, 4 May 2008

By	J. Hood (Cheshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I loved R L Stevenson's St Ives, the novel on which the film is loosely based - and do I mean loosely! That said, it is as well to forget the book and enjoy the film for what it is: a lot of fun with some great performamces, from the drop-dead gorgeous Jean Marc Barr who has all the irrisistible charm of RLS's hero, to the brilliant pairing of Miranda Richardson and Richard E Grant who take RLS's straitlaced and serious Aunt Gilchrist and Major Chevenix and turn them into comic characters who are as much in love in their own way as the young romantic couple.
Yes, it is a laugh, not a serious film at all. Actually, the book is tongue in cheek, too on occasion. Costuming is beautiful, though at times the women lag 20 years behind the fashion - don't think Edinburgh society was so out of touch.
The film misses the menace in the book, and one or two engaging characters have been removed. The owner of the balloon is also cut out,which deprives us of one of the funniest lines in the book. But it really is an engaging romp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rollicking Good Romp!, 14 Jul 2008

By	Scots Lass (Scotland) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

For fans of the original Robert Louis Stevenson novel, St Ives, you might want to give this a miss - but if you enjoy action, comedy, romance and heaving bosoms - this is the film for you.

Made by the BBC and starring Jean Marc Barr as Capitaine Jacques St Ives, Richard E Grant as Major Farquar Chevening and Miranda Richardson and Anna Friel as the aunt and niece Miss Gilchrists, All For Love tells the story of a French Captain who finds himself in a Scottish prison at the time of the Napoleonic Wars. Drawn to prison visitor Flora (Anna Friel) he makes a gift of a carved box to her, which contains his family crest. Flora knows this crest and decides to seek out Jacques Gradndfather who lives nearby with Jacques rake of a brother, Alain.

Meanwhile, repressed Major Chevening has hopes of romance with Flora and asks Jacques for advice in the art of love. "If you want to please a woman, use your tongue" says Jacques, veteren of many duels, and once the Major understands that women like to hear compliments, he is soon on his way to begin his courtship.

The dvd has enough double meanings for it to be given a 15 rating, but really, these remarks and actions will have the adults sniggering, but will go over the head of most children. The scene where the stuffy Major is bound and gagged to the raunchy Susan Gilchrist, who declares that she will will "wriggle free in the manner of a Cobra" is laugh out loud funny - as is the Major's decision to sing hymns to take his mind off the female body bound - and squirming - next to his!

This is a well made, beautifully filmed comedy drama with stunning sets and well paced action. I am sure the basic story of St Ives is here - it is just padded out with some visual and verbal comedy as well as the expected action of a RLS story.

Get hold of a copy and settle down for some swash buckling laughs and all round heroic deeds. And bosoms....

5.0 out of 5 stars Long awaited, very entertaining, 22 Feb 2008

By	PS - See all my reviews

I remember this from when it was first broadcast on BBC and have been eagerly scouring Amazon waiting for it to be released on DVD. What a wonderful, entertaining and funny film. A superb cast, Anna Friel, Miranda Richardson, Richard E Grant, Tim Dutton and Jean-Marc Barr, a great romantic comedy.

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm really not sure what to make of this?!
I'm not entirely sure what to make of this one. When I first put it in the DVD player, I was expecting a soppy Austen-esque costume drama which would have me hugging for my pillow... Read more
