P&P is excellent

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2005)

I would just like to say I think Pride and Prejudice is an excellent film. I am only 16 and at first wondered what was the point in watching a movie that was a U and therefore contained no sex/language/violence however P&P is great in so many other ways. It is visually stunning and well acted and I believe it appeals to an audience who would normally not be interested in a film version of a classic. Far from bogging the watcher down with confusing dialogue and an overcomplicated plot it told the story in an authentic way without alienating a younger audience. Although I wouldn't recommend this to very small children I would definitely tell anyone not completely repulsed by the idea of a Jane Austen novel on screen, to watch it.
