Don't understand harsh reviews

Rating: 10/10 (4 January 2006)

I would have to strongly disagree with the negative comments of mkazmierczak, carole-wilbraham, seraph_sister and others, and although it is true that this movie has some historical accuracy problems, after all it is an adaptation to a novel, not a real life event. Such accuracy is often expected in the documentaries, however who in their right mind actually look for the inaccurate portrayal of what is already a "made up" story. I started my reading of the book after I saw a movie, and maybe because of that I can actually compare how well the movie represents what Jane Austen portrayed in her "Pride and Prejudice." Even most of the dialog is used in the movie, which I thought to be extremely pleasing. As for the actors, I think all did a great job, especially in the roles of Elizabeth, Darcy, Mr. Bennet, Mrs. Bennet and Catherine DeBorough. I would assume that this movie is more likely to be enjoyed by the female population, I have no doubt that once the DVD comes out-my male acquaintances will equally find it amusing.
