‘Downton Abby’s’ transition to film isn't going to make it onto any worst film-to-TV adaptions lists, but it is a mediocre film that offers two hours of fun for fans of the show. If you’re not a fan, there is absolutely no reason to see it. The film seems more like an extended TV special rather than a theatrical film, but fans won’t be mad to see it on the big screen.

Lord Julian Fellowes television series' had largely passed me by, so it did take about half an hour for me to establish who was who/married to whom/related to whom/liked/loathed and generally to get my bearings. Once that was all done, the film moves along apace; looks great and portrays the tail end of the period of the pre-eminence of the British landed aristocracy with style and panache. Dames Maggie Smith and Penelope Wilton stand out, though feature sparingly and as you'd expect - the costumes, cinematography and score are very good. It is a delightful, though hardly thought-provoking watch....
