This is a really good version of this story. The movie is sweet, innocient and romantic, set in a time period with priorities much different to today. it is played well by the actors. if you love emma, sence and sencibility or keira, i especially recomended it.

For starters, there is a very grounded nature to the presentation of the story. Some Austenites got their knickers into a twist because they thought it made the family and their circumstances too drab looking. But I loved it! The Meryton Assembly basically sets the stage for this grounded approach-the dancing looks a little heavy footed, the girls look sweaty, and you can't help but think that someone needs to open a window cause it looks awfully sweaty! But at the same time,it made the story come alive, like you were a fly on the wall, peeking in on Lizzy and Darcy and the rest of the gang. Lastly, I loved the youthful take on the story. I LOVE Firth and Ehle as the '95 leads. They had this chemistry and sensual tension that was electric! But their take was definitely from a mature standpoint-like the way I'd act now as a 33 year old woman. Whereas Macfadyen and Knightley? Theirs is a more youthful, innocent, first love take that I just took to. Great chemistry, Lizzy's a little less cocksure, Darcy's a bit more unbalanced by this attraction, and it felt right in terms of age and stage of development with the actual characters in the book. Great adaption, brisk storytelling, and a wonderfully irreverent tone by a fun director who knew it was a good idea to knock the pedestal off from under our Lizzy and Darcy, and let them be seen in a more grounded light. And ps-I thought Macfadyen, even though he doesn't have that big of a part, was a great Darcy! Highly recommended

Love this movie , I can watch it over and over again

I really enjoyed this movie, but i was disappointed that there were characters missing, of course they couldn't fit it all in but it was disappointing, and a few other niggly things, the acting was great, it was colourful and pleasant to watch not drab and boring like it could have been, though i was slightly disappointed with the ending, never the less i have watched it half a dozen times!
