Adorable film version and both stars shine

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2005)

I've seen this film three times already and adore it. It's an adorable version that stands up to other more well known versions. Keira Knightley was wonderful as Lizzy and brought sympathy, feistiness, spunk, loyalty and confusion to the role while Matthew MacFadyen was equally wonderful in his role as our new Darcy. He had a lot to live up to, but, didn't disappoint and, by playing it his own way instead portraying him like other versions, he brought something new to the role as well and I hope to see a lot more of him in future roles.
Matthew and Keira had such lovely chemistry as Darcy and Lizzt and you could almost believe them falling inlove and both stars shone in the roles that must be their best yet. All the supporting characters were equally well performed by excellent actors, the storyline remained the same, but, different and touchingly lovely and my only complaint is that for the first time I could easily have watched far more of this film and these characters I can't wait for the DVD to watch as many times as I like
