'I thought you said she was thin.'

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2003)

This is a witty film and I highly recommend it. It was based on 'Pride and Prejudice' from Jane Austin. Colin Firth plays Mark Darcy who was based upon Mr. Darcy in P&P. The author mentions in the DVD extras that she actually modeled (in the book) the character Mark Darcy after Colin Firth..he played Mr. Darcy in the movie "Pride and Prejudice." The only disappointment is Renee's accent. I have heard that it is very good but in fact it is actually the opposite! It is passable, but it sounds like an American trying to sound British..even though Hugh Grant claims he didn't know she was an American when he first began the film with her. There are certainly other films in which American actors practice british elocution with 'expertise' but this is not one of them. It is almost laughable in that respect. However, it is definitely worth seeing. I can see there are many who thought her accent was very well done....er.. The acting is excellent..Hugh Grant was a splendid choice for this film... It is one of my favorites. The likeness to Ally McBeal is noticeable but I am not an Ally fan. Therefore this film is certainly not only for Ally McBeal fans.
