What a waste of 2 hours...not a flick for chicks (or for anybody else!)

Rating: 1/10 (3 September 2007)

This film is so boring! The acting is so bad! The script is so terrible! Please don't waste your time. If you want a good version of this novel, try the 1995 Colin Firth/ Jennifer Elhe version or even the 1940s Greer Garson/ Lawrence Olivier version, both of which are much funnier, wittier, and more enjoyable.
Keira Knightley running around the sodden, muddy landscape has more in common with Kate Winslet's silly Marianne from Sense and Sensibility (a much much better movie) than with anything having to do with bright, articulate, witty, funny Elizabeth Bennett. The Bennett girls' giggling is annoying and makes the twits in Bring It On (a much funnier film) seem like Regency wits. And the vulgar, obvious script makes Airplane (waaaay funnier film) seem subtle.
If you haven't read Pride and Prejudice, don't bother with this film. It won't explain why people love the book so much or represent anything of the book's beloved characters and plot. If you have read Pride and Prejudice, don't bother with this film. It won't even make sense to you.
