Pleasantly surprised

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2005)

As thousands of other fans of the A&E mini-series, I went into this movie telling myself to have an open mind. When I left the theater, with some remnants of happy tears in my eyes, I realized I felt more during this movie than the mini-series. Of course, nothing will ever compare to "The Look" in the mini-series, but the interaction between this version of Elizabeth and Darcy really made you feel the longing - especially on his part - he was FANTASTIC! Also, the movie showed a more realistic view of the Bennett life, I think - pigs in the back, mud, showing their level of society a bit better.
Wonderful movie!
