Much Lacking

Rating: 1/10 (5 June 2006)

Kiera Knightly and Donald Southerland represent miscasting at it's best.
Modern speech used in a supposedly realistic period movie.
Wrong social context that bites both the plot and characters in this beautifully written novel by Jane Austen. A pig wandering in the home of the Bennet family? The family of a gentleman who, though poor, kept servants?? I don't think so.
Both the acting and script leave me indifferent to the leading characters...Elizabeth and Darcy. I am never emotionally invested in the characters to care whether they fall in love or not.
