Hilarious and touching, go see it!

Rating: 10/10 (5 April 2001)

This was the first time in years I have actually been excited about watching a film. I have to confess to not having read the book (yet) but having read all the reviews in the London papers while visiting and being bombarded so much with it, I was actually very excited to go see it.
I dragged all my friends to the sneak preview and had a blast! The gals will love it because it is a beautiful romantic comedy and the guys will even enjoy the humor and might learn a thing or two about women.
Colin Firth is perfect as the brooding Mr. Darcy, and his dry demeanor almost turns us off until it wins us completely. Hugh Grant is maddenly the wrong guy we all love to want, and Renee, well, she is amazing. Although I haven't liked the comments I've heard from Renee after the movie about her weight gain, it's great to see a real size woman garner the attention of two of the hottest men on the screen right now. If she can do it, maybe there is hope for the rest of us.
