Yes! There have been a couple movies made from this book, but the most popular, and most recent, is the 1995 production starring Hugh Grant, Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson.



It might remind many people of the "grown up movie" of Frankie's Mac and Bloo try watching in "Squeeze the Day". One must have a genuine interest in Jane Austen's writing, Regency times, historical costumes and/or sappy love stories to really enjoy it. Otherwise, it'll easily come across as boooooorrriiiinnnggggg. I personally like the movie, but again, the book is better.
