My Thoughts
In Downtown Abbey the movie, is a extended version of the television show that features lots of holiday fun. In the film, the Crawleys prepare for a visit from the king and queen. There is lots of romance including a same-sex couple that defy the rules of the times in the best of ways. Of course, they find themselves engulfed in drama and scandal that might send the royal couple fleeing the scene.
This movie was a great edition to the series and really helped to tie up some loose ends from the television series. Both the costumes and the scenery are beautifully depicted and the actors are outstanding. If you are a fan of the series, this movie is sure to be a hit. I especially love all the beautiful flabber dresses, and every scene with the amazing Countess Crawley. If you'd like to grab a copy of this awesome Blu-ray/DVD combo, you can find it in stores nationwide or online at Amazon.
