Don't waste your time

Rating: 1/10 (13 April 2008)

This film is based very loosely on the novel by Jane Austen. If you liked the book I don't think you will like this movie. They took too many indecent liberties with the book! This movie would not give you the least idea of the richness and elegance and sheer enjoyment of the novel. I am sooooooo glad I didn't spend money to see this at the cinema thanks to reviews on this web site!!! Out of curiosity I did rent it (much cheaper). It was awful in my opinion. Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennet was merely the worst of the casting of this film. The dialog was totally "valley girl" and hardly true to the period. That aspect was quite nauseating. The dialog between the characters was boring and so artificial. The was nothing to please the ear or the eye in this one for me.
