I do not mind that it got Keira'd away!

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2006)

"Sense & Sensibility" is a Jane Austen literary classic that has been adapted for the electronic media copious times. The story is about the Bennett family which are comprised of sisters Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, Lydia and of course pop/mum Mr. & Mrs. Bennett. This capricious tale about how the sisters relentlessly seek future husbands could have easily been re-titled "Sister Act". The latest film version of "Sense & Sensibility" stars Keira Knightley as the jovial but practical Elizabeth. Matthew Macfadyen co-stars as the legendary Mr. Darcy, the wealthy but snobby bachelor who bumps heads and eventually hearts with the innocent Pink Lizzy herself. What made sense about "Sense & Sensibility" was the admirable acting of Knightley and the cool magnetism of Donald Sutherland as Mr. Bennett. What I felt was senseless about "Sense & Sensibility" was the atrocious acting efforts of everyone else! It was like my first cooking experiment! Overdone!!!!!!!! Director Joe Wright does moderately bring in the "wright" stuff in adapting this demanding tale to the big screen. However, it was the KK plan or otherwise known as the Keira Knightley experiment that brought vivacity to "Sense & Sensibility". *** Average
