Example:
1. One of my favourite movies is "Pride and Prejudice," a romantic comedy /drama. The movie script was written by Deborah Moggah. It is based on the famous novel of the same name, written by Jane Austen in the 19th century. The movie was made in 2005. It was directed by Joe Wright, starring Kiera McKnightly in the role of Elizabeth Bennett and Matthew Macfadeyen in the role of Mr. Darcy. It's been one of the most popular movies since it was released.

2. The movie's action is set in the 19th century rural England. It is a story about a genteel family with five unmarried daughters. The main characters are the second-eldest daughter Elizabeth, a strong-headed independent young lady, and her love interest, a rich and arrogant man, Mr. Darcy. It's a story about how they move from hating to loving each other. In the beginning they leave a very bad impression of each other: Mr. Darcy finds Elizabeth not attractive enough and poor, and she finds him arrogant and unpleasant. However, later they see each other's true character and fall in love. Although they are from different social classes they overcome all obstacles, get married and live happily ever after.

3. I really liked this movie. The actors made the characters belieavable and alive. Most of them were also very funny. The scenery and costume were wonderful. I was transported to the 19th century England. The story was interesting and moved fast, there was not a moment of boredom.
I would highly recommend this movie to anybody who enjoys romantic comedies.
