This movie is listed as a comedy. It is not a comedy by any stretch of the imagination. Nor is it a good murder mystery either. The murder doesn't happen till late in the movie, and there are way to many characters to try to figure out what is going on. It is too difficult to figure out who is the servant for whom, who is having sex with whom, who is related to whom. No action. Just a lot of snobbish people who all dslike the host of this hunting party. Difficult movie to follow.

Like a choose your own adventure novel in movie form.

First this is not a comedy as listed it's a drama. I love this movie, whenever I don't know what to watch I turn this on. I love the time period and the relationships between the upstairs and the downstairs or lack of one.

Fantastic film, although it was not a comedy as claimed to be. More like a dry humor I might add. This film is very mysterious and full of suspense. It requires you to actually pay attention the minute it begins. Due to the fact that you would get lost somewhere in it because of its many twists and subliminal messages that require you to out two and two together. I liked it; which is why I am giving it a five star rating.

I'm a HUGE Downton Abbey fan and never saw this movie (both written by Julian Fellowes) so I rented it. GP had way too many characters in it. It was not interesting or funny at all (this is a comedy?) and moved slowly. The "mystery" was particularly lame! I am shocked this won an Oscar.

I started to watch this movie but wasn't able to understand the dialog because they talked too low and too fast. Maybe it's just me.

I felt overall the performances were great, and everyone did an awesome job… but it seemed at times the movie was trying to hard to be provocative or edgy. I dunno, maybe not being British, and not having servants or growing up in the affluent atmosphere, I can't truly appreciate the socieo-undertones of an unwritten caste system. The ending, with out spoiling, actually irritated me, with Clive Owen's character and the head house made. I was like, wait, what, you mean, so she's just gonna what? Though, I didn't write the movie so how can I criticize. Overall the performances, characters, costumes, set-design were all very well done and should be applauded.

beautifully filmed. beautifully scored. I could watch this film hundreds of times

This film is absolutely fabulous, but it is a drama, not a comedy as the trailer on iTunes depicts.

I never understood how "Gosford Park" got nominated for Best Picture. The performances were brilliant, but the story was drab, boring, and listless. I kept checking my watch to see when this film would end, because I was nodding off. In a word, another overrated film getting nominated for Best Picture, as so many pretentious films do lately.
