It was cute, but...

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2006)

The movie was good, but sometimes the acting seemed like they were just reading from the script - a movie is supposed to transport you back to that time, and it just didn't work. Also, the movie delineated a great deal from the book, by like A LOT. The BBC version was better. Longer, but better. But if you haven't seen the BBC version, and you can't compare it to the book, this movie is a perfect romantic comedy. Kiera Knightley is good, as well as Donald Sutherland. They both did a good job of absorbing themselves into the script. Brenda Blethlyn, Mrs. Bennet, was one character who seemed to be just reading the script, not adding her own to the character.
