Oof.

Rating: 2/10 (26 March 2006)

I kept thinking all the way through this film - "What a waste of scenery...What a waste of pretty faces...What a waste of a lovely movie." My suggestion to you is to see the Greer Garson version because: a) The acting in this is awful. Especially Ms. Knightly. She is beautiful and looks friendly, but spits lines without conviction or emotion.
b) Everyone is ADD, running around, directionless.
c) The screenplay is just off. The most colorful moments in the book have been hacked out, leaving a very serious screenplay that Jane Austin would hate hate hate.
But it is a beautiful thing to look at...On MUTE.
