Romance's convoluted course
Saw this with my girlfriend. She cried at the end. This is a well made film. There is one breathtaking shot of Keira Knightley's character posed on the edge of a cliff, with a magnificent backdrop. I would love to have a poster sized print of it up on the wall. An excellent stay at home date movie. Very humorous too.
Lovely film adaptation.

One of the Best
This is one of my favorite films of all time. It has a lot of charm and brings Jane Austen's wonderful story to life. The acting was great and highly enjoyable. Knightly plays Elizabeth perfectly and Mr. Darcy's character is also done very well. This movie is a classic!

Excellent take on Pride and Prejudice
Fast paced and youthful representation of Pride and Prejudice. The interaction between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy is exciting and sensual. Very enjoyable.
