Wordiezett So much average
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
HugglesTheTrees I first got to see this movie when it appeared on television, I personally found it a cute little flick. I know most people would feel that this movie is a bad screen adaption...but it is not meant to follow the book directly. If it had been meant to be it would would have been taken in a way more serious direction and it would have been like every other movie that used Jane Austen's book as it's premises.Yet, like every movie it has it's short comings, I for one, think that it lacked in substance at certain points and didn't always flow right and the acting, at times could come off as sub-par at a few points. But all in all I found it a good movie over-all.I rated this book a 9/10 due to its creativity and sheer adorableness.
jami-9 My roommates and I just love this movie! Even thought the story doesn't follow the book exactly, you get the same feel as in the book.In this story, all the sisters in the book are roommates in the movie, Kitty and Lydia being the only sisters, however, each character retains the same personalities as in the book. Kitty and Lydia are vain and revolve around boys, Mary is completely awkward but tries REALLY hard, Jane is extremely nice, and Elizabeth is stubborn and independent.Many of the events in the book are put into a modern setting, so it's fairly faithful. Everyone meets at a party thrown by Charles (where he dances the majority of the night with Jane), Wickham elopes with Darcy's sister (and tries to with Lydia), Charles leaves, Collins proposes, etc., etc.True, my roomies and I are Mormon, and there are plenty of inside jokes for us Mormons, but its really just a cute, simple movie that's just lots of fun. In one of the comments, someone says that it teaches girls that independence is a bad thing. I don't really get that out of the movie. Elizabeth goes on with her life, even after making up with Darcy at the end of the movie. In the book, Elizabeth changes her views of not needing men, and thinking all men are pigs, just as the Elizabeth in this movie does. It's really just a fun movie, I would recommend it for anyone.
chatterbox1353 I really liked this movie, I thought it was hilarious. In another version of it, it seemed as though Darcy was a bit nicer, but maybe that's because this version is modern and easier to understand. I didn't think Elizabeth was mean to him, he deserved everything she gave him the first time. The ending was great too, and even though this version did differ quite a lot from others, it's still funny and sweet. If it weren't for Lydia's stupid role (I hate her voice) I would've liked it even more. Kitty seemed completely pointless, and so did Charlotte something. Other than that, I think it was worth my time to see this movie and I plan to purchase it when I can find it. How people can shun a movie like this is beyond me, because I really felt this is easier to understand than the book and other movies made about the book.
atwoodsmith If you're attracted to the P&P story line and are entertained by the idea of the plot working itself out in different cultural contexts, then this is the movie for you. The context here is the LDS or "Mormon" culture of Utah. Like "Clueless," the movie's strength comes from recycling the plot of one of Austen's classic novels. As it is, it's fun, though rough around the edges.P&P poses some real challenges when you transport it to a modern setting, since a lot of the things that mattered to women in the Regency period just don't matter any more. By placing the story in the LDS context, the producers subjected the women to a culture with a few crucial similarities. I know very little about the LDS culture, but the film suggests that LDS women *want* to get married and the men expect them to be virgins. This gives the story its foundation.This is clearly a low budget production. It shows in some of the technical aspects and in the acting, but the actors are at least competent. There's lots of gentle humor, but the movie lacks the sharp wit that is Austen's trademark.
