Summary: Excellent Movie!!!
Comment: If you like eiter the book or the other film starring Kiera Knightly you'll love this movie. The only downside to the movie is that it is so long that it is definately a two-night deal. Overall I prefer the casting in the newer version of Pride and Prejudice, but nobody can beat the haughtiness of Colin Firth. Jennifer Ehle is wonderful, but in my opinion she is much prettier than the character Jane who is supposed to be the great beauty. (Obviously it's not a drawback to the film, just an observation). This is by far the best version of Pride and Prejudice. I only wish that Judy Dench had played Lady Catherine De Bourg in this version as well.

Summary: collector's set
Comment: This is a great product, especially for Jane Austen fanatics like myself. The only thing I was disappointed with was in the extra disc, none of the really important main characters are featured. It would have been interesting to see what they thought about the movie and to get their take on everything. Other than that it is fantastic. The biography portion is interesting and the book with all of the pictures from the making of the movie are fun.

Summary: The best P & P adaptation!
Comment: This is, by far, the best adaptation of P&P! And,... it's fun! It truly keeps to Jane Austen's spirit of the story and every character is played with authenticism. Costumes, sets, and manners are true to the period. I was surprised at how amusing the story was! Even my husband laughed!

Colin Firth steals the show as Mr. Darcy. What an actor! He simply smoulders! His portrayal is so true that one can no longer picture Darcy in any other form, once seen here. Darcy is a complex man, and not all as confident as one assumes at first. Firth brings out both Darcy's strengths and his shortcomings in a very appealing performance. Thank you very much, Mr. Firth!

Best scenes are Elizabeth's refusal of Darcy's first proposal and her confrontation with Lady Catherine. His second proposal and their reconciliation is also done perfectly. And, yes,... Mr. Darcy emerging from the lake.... need I say more?

This is the best by far!
