Hopeless romantic

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2005)

Saw the first showing of this movie at its opening at the multiplex today. I can tell you that not only did it thoroughly please me and my daughters but fellow theater goers as well. We all applauded at the end...and I haven't done THAT in years and years! Though no film can fully capture the esteemed Austen novel in it's entirety, this was a lovely and enjoyable adaptation. The characters were excellently portrayed by all. Knightley was most indeed "bewitching" as Elizabeth Bennett, and the supporting cast were equally engaging. The cinematography was excellent and not once did I feel gypped out of elements of the novel. I can tell you my 14 year old daughter was captivated and beguiled by the romance of the story. If you are a hopeless romantic you must see this movie.
