Like the novel, the film opens with the extravagant baronet Sir Walter Elliot (Creator/RichardEGrant) and his two remaining unmarried daughters Elizabeth (Creator/YolandaKettle) and Anne preparing to lease their ancestral home Kellynch Hall in an attempt to recover financially. The Elliots' tenants, the Crofts (Creator/StewartScudamore and Creator/AgniScott), are a friendly couple whom Anne quickly grows to like -- the only problem is that Mrs. Croft's brother, Frederick Wentworth (Creator/CosmoJarvis) is Anne's ex-fiance; she was persuaded to break their engagement years ago and hasn't found a husband on his level in the years since. But now Wentworth is rich from the navy and seeking a wife, and doesn't seem to have a spare glance for Anne. A man who does seem to have have interest in Anne, however, is William Elliot (Creator/HenryGolding), Sir Walter's repentant heir.

* ToneShift: Compared to the source material, bordering on GenreShift. The novel is a more serious and introspective romantic drama (though not without its moments of humor) and is one of Jane Austen's more melancholic works. This film adaptation is much more [[LighterAndSofter lighthearted]] and [[DenserAndWackier goofy]], and comes off more as a straight-up romantic comedy at times.

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Austen's Anne was sensible, pensive and considerate, keeping most of her negative thoughts to herself. This Anne is not only a FirstPersonSmartass to the audience, but she's also more playful and more prone to moaning about her doomed engagement with Wentworth.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: In the book Anne and Wentworth barely say a word to each other until they reunite in Bath. Here the two converse as early as his arrival at Uppercross and agree to be friends before eventually rekindling their romance.
* AnachronismStew: The Regency England characters utilize plenty of modern terminology, such as "playlists", "exes", and "fashion-forward".
* FirstPersonSmartass: Unlike the novel, which utilized a third-person narrator, this film has Anne herself narrate the film to audiences, and she'll often do so with cheeky quips and eyerolls.
* LadyDrunk: This Anne Elliot has a fondness for the bottle, often seen drinking wine or alluding to how she'll be drinking wine.
* RaceLift: Creator/JaneAusten characters are implicitly white, being members of the middle and upper middle classes during the Regency. Here, Lady Russell, Captain Benwick, and the Musgroves are played by black actors, while William Elliot is played by half-Malaysian Creator/HenryGolding.
* SexinessScore: One of the anachronisms in the dialogue.
** The vain Sir Walter is persuaded to move to Bath thus: "It is said if you're a five in London, you're a ten in Bath."
** The handsome William Elliot is considered by Anne to be a "ten".
* TheUnfavorite: In the opening sequence Elizabeth is shown to be Sir Walter's favorite daughter and a great beauty, and Mary made a good match for herself. Anne describes herself as "the middle child [and] the crack in his looking glass".
* WhatWouldXDo: Wentworth admits to Anne that he often thought "What would Anne do?" during dark moments at sea.
