Brilliant Adaptation of Jane Austin's Novella

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2015)

This is and will remain my favourite film of all time. If you have not yet watched it, I highly recommend you do - especially if you are a lover of classics, romantic tales and happy endings. This 2005 adaptation of the Novel written by Jane Austin, for me personally, does the book justice. Of course like many books that have been made into films, there are possibly significant scenes or moments that are not included. Nonetheless, the film is still a great watch and I guarantee you'll feel content at the end.
Another reason why this is a solid 10/10 is the casting choice, but also the locations used for the living quarters of each character/family. It is clear the producers took much time in finding specific accommodation that suites Austin's portrayal of each home. If your DVD has the bonus of the locations, watch it! It's interesting but also adds an extra, realism to the film.
The last comment is the alternate ending (or US ending). I feel this was a very neat idea as it adds an almost modern element to such a vintage story. The fact that they do finally kiss makes their relationship not seem so 'unrealistic' or such a 'fantasy' as it had before. For those who don't believe in destiny, this ending will ensure you of their affection for one another.
So if you ever get a spare few hours or are looking for a film to watch. Pride and Prejudice (2005) would be an amazing choice. (Trust me, I have seen it at least 9 times and still it does not bore me!)
