beautiful movie... makes this Jane Austen fan happy....

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2007)

Every once in a while, a movie is produced that you enjoy so much that you watch it over and over again and never tire of it. This is one of those movies. Jane Austen's book comes to life on the screen with the characters portrayed exceptionally well. This lively and well-conceived version easily places the viewer inside the lives of the Bennet family. The cinematography is exquisite. It has a happy ending. It's thoroughly enjoyable and well-casted, with inspired performances and logical film editing. My only disappointment was that this movie didn't receive better critical reviews... because that usually means fewer people will see it. In my own humble opinion, it's one of the best movies released in the recent past. It's well worth a couple of hours of your time! You might even want to watch it over and over again. Hmmmm.
