Is Mr. Malcolm's list predictable? Yes. Is its casting unrealistic for the period? It most certainly is.
But if you can look past colour and are in love with love and a simple, wholesome, feel-good story, then Mr. Malcolm's List is for you. I am a fan of most things Jane Austen, and Suzanne Allain's very loose adaptation of Austen's most famous novel (my favourite) didn't disappoint me--the movie version, that is. I have yet to read the book.
If you can suspend disbelief for just 117 delightful minutes, then you can enjoy this in-the-box out-of-the-box period piece. And you might just expand your knowledge of the Corn Laws while you're at it.
