Not my cup of tea

Rating: 1/10 (22 March 2006)

If you love the book and know it well, do NOT spend ANY money on this film. I could go on and on about what bugged me, but it's already been said. I cringed so much during the film! Lizzie smiling so so much all the time almost, the pig in the house,the dialogue -oh how I missed the humour of the book, the little details. The only thing in the movie I thought improved from the 1995 version was Tom Hollanders portrayal of Mr Collins. But if you never read any books, this condensed version might suit you. On my part, I will watch Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle again instead, where you really feel all the strong and suppressed emotions behind the surface, where just one look will say so much.
