I watched Emma for the first time last night (on Netflix), got three quarters of the way through the movie before I was like "Hmm, where have I seen this story line before..."
(( * * * Spoiler Alert * * * ))
A rich, young (motherless) girl unsuccessfully plays match maker. After taking her new best friend, Harriet, out of marrying a farmer by claiming Harriet is too good for him, she tries to set her up with Elton... Unfortunately Elton likes Emma, not Harriet. When Emma turns him down, he immediately marries a snobby rich girl, only concerned with status and clothes. Emma ends up following for the uber-cute new kid Churchill, but after her and Harriet get mugged by gypsies and ultimately saved by Churchill, she sees Harriet's falling for him, and she decides she'll set her up with him. Unfortunately they find out Churchill had been unavailable all along because he had been secretly engaged to another. Harriet wound up revealing she was into Emma's ex-step-brother Knightley, which made Emma jealious because she realized she had been into him all along... In the end Emma married Knightley and Harriet wound up accepting the poor farmer's proposal and they all lived happily ever after.
Did you figure it out? Does it sound familiar yet? No? Well maybe this will help...
