Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Oh, my God! This movie was such a disaster, I can't even begin to describe it! First of all, the plot has almost nothing to do with the original book/movie. The silly little teen comedy air is disturbing and a disgrace for Jane Austen's story. The actors, uh, the roles are simply laughable especially the main two characters: Darcy is mean and exaggerated, while Elizabeth Bennet is a ditsy blonde who tries to look smart(sure!)and who has some horrible (!!!) clothing. There is no chemistry between them! Nothing! The parts that are supposed to be funny are senseless and throwout the movie we hear this annoying music on the background that makes you want to scream. I watched the movie like you watch a car accident (you want to look away but you can't) and i can honestly say that this one shouldn't have seen the light of day!

My roommates and I just love this movie! Even thought the story doesn't follow the book exactly, you get the same feel as in the book.In this story, all the sisters in the book are roommates in the movie, Kitty and Lydia being the only sisters, however, each character retains the same personalities as in the book. Kitty and Lydia are vain and revolve around boys, Mary is completely awkward but tries REALLY hard, Jane is extremely nice, and Elizabeth is stubborn and independent.Many of the events in the book are put into a modern setting, so it's fairly faithful. Everyone meets at a party thrown by Charles (where he dances the majority of the night with Jane), Wickham elopes with Darcy's sister (and tries to with Lydia), Charles leaves, Collins proposes, etc., etc.True, my roomies and I are Mormon, and there are plenty of inside jokes for us Mormons, but its really just a cute, simple movie that's just lots of fun. In one of the comments, someone says that it teaches girls that independence is a bad thing. I don't really get that out of the movie. Elizabeth goes on with her life, even after making up with Darcy at the end of the movie. In the book, Elizabeth changes her views of not needing men, and thinking all men are pigs, just as the Elizabeth in this movie does. It's really just a fun movie, I would recommend it for anyone.

This movie does nothing to credit Jane Austen's literary genius, regardless of whether its adaptation was meant to reflect a comedy more so than the classic romance. Perhaps most tedious of all was the complete lack of chemistry between the lead characters. Also ever present was a level of acting that made high school students look like Oscar contenders. A film like this either works or it doesn't, and this one only left me wishing I was watching Joe Wright's version of Pride & Prejudice (2005). While it attempts to follow in the footsteps of films like Clueless (1995) with its comedic take on Jane Austen's "Emma", it falls completely short of expectation.

I think this film is an excellent modern rendition of Pride and Prejudice. Those familiar with Jane Austen's novel realize it would be impossible to precisely recreate it. First of all, the BBC has done that 3 times. Secondly, what was common in 1796 (or 1813) is taboo now. Adult women rarely live at home once grown, marrying well is no longer of great importance to comfort, and in most societies we have more entertainment at our disposal then a ball.And this movie shows it. I felt that the actors represented the personalities of the original characters. Their choices and actions, if not nearly exact, seemed to be a modern equivalent. I believe Kam Heskin's interpretation was right on. Her performance stood out; she represented a Lizzy who had a strong independence, high level of intelligence, and a sense of humor.The cinematography is creative and, considering it's low budget, the film has a realistic beauty. The music and colors do a great deal to represent the emotions of the characters. All of this lends to the movie's calm sort of energy.
