OK, nothing really new

Rating: 5/10 (7 September 2006)

This movie is like many other romance films out there; only difference is it's set in England in the olden days. I'm not sure why Knightly got acting nominations. I didn't think it was anything special. She didn't even have to fake an English accent. The main story is girl likes boy, boy likes girl, girl gets mad at boy, then finds out he isn't so bad after all, and takes him back.
On a side note, I thought it was really annoying for almost everyone to refer to someone else as Mr. or Mrs. instead of first names. The wife calls her husband Mr. Bennett and the kids even call their parents Mrs. or Mr.
FINAL VERDICT: OK; just nothing original. If you like date movies, you may like this.
