From the Back Cover
1950's England. Nigel, the eligible Earl of Marshwood, announces hisengagement to the beautiful Miranda Frayle. Nigel's mother takes the news with a stiff upper lip but privately she's appalled to hear her son and heir is to marry, of all things, a Hollywood actress! On the other side of the Atlantic meanwhile, Miranda's ex, movie star Don Lucas, toasts the happy couple with a bottle of Jack Daniels before setting off for England determined to reclaim the love of his life. With an all-star cast including Julie Andrews, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Sophie Thompson and Stephen Fry, 'Relative Values' is a knowing and comical look at that great English obsession....class!

Delightful and great fun to watch.,
By
This review is from: Relative Values [DVD] [2000] (DVD)
I found this movie by chance whilst searching for movies by Julie Andrews. What a delightful and light hearted entertainment it turned out to be. This movie was well enjoyed by my family. The added bonus of having two of my favourite actors - Julie Andrews and Colin Firth was more than I could ask for. Colin Firth was at his most mischievous best and the ever lovely and royal Julie Andrews. This is an all star cast; there is a guest appearance by Stephanie Beecham.This is great comedy and it is light hearted too. It is great fun to watch, you can't go wrong with this DVD.

Perfect Acting - Perfect Fun!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Relative Values [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
This extremely comic tale of an aristocratic English family's horror about their son's intended wedding to an American actress is highly entertaining and comprises several first-rate actors. Julie Andrews as the head of the family and gorgeous Colin Firth as her nephew play a funny game with the "lost son" and his fiancee in order to prevent their marriage and restore him to the lap of his family. They are supported by the actress's former lover, played by a very charming William Baldwin.Stephen Fry and Sophie Thompson on further roles are highly comic as well, and the superior acting of the whole cast makes this movie a real delight.

Better Than Gosford Park,
By
This review is from: Relative Values [VHS] [2000] (VHS Tape)
For pure entertainment with no pretensions of being anything more, this was just the ticket. Better than Gosford Park, in my opinion. Julie Andrews, Colin Firth, Sophie Thompson are all excellent. Even William Baldwin was just right. (As much as I want to NOT like those Baldwin brothers, they are pretty good.)This was based on a Noel Coward play, so the idea was to take a stageful of characters and shake them up to see what happens. In this case, as Julie Andrews's character says "Not much, really." And yet, for an hour and a half, servants are scurrying, doors are opening and slamming shut, British aristocracy is pulling out all the stops to maintain its way of life, and Hollywood stars are swooping in to shake things up. So ignore the lukewarm ratings of the professional reviewers and just enjoy good writing, fine acting, and a story that won't change your life.
