The five Bennet sisters -- including strong-willed Elizabeth and young Lydia -- have all been raised by their mother with one purpose in life: finding a husband. When a wealthy bachelor takes up residence in a nearby mansion, the Bennets are abuzz. Amongst the man's sophisticated circle of friends, surely there will be no shortage of suitors for the Bennet sisters. But when Elizabeth meets up with the handsome and -- it would seem -- snobbish Mr. Darcy, the battle of the sexes is joined.

When they FINALLY get together, they don't even kiss!!! thats what the audience has been waiting for the whol efilm. But it was a well made film and i liked Keira in this.
No, that's NOT Mr. Darcy! And in other aspects as well, this movie falls flat. Pride and Prejudice on fast forward. I feel nothing. I don't like it.

So why should non-English majors have any interest in this sort offull review
antique romance? Because it actually is romantic, in a way that's kind
of charming in its absence of contemporary wisecracking worldliness.
As historically authentic-looking as Pride & Prejudice is, it has far more invested in emotional authenticity -- you feel engaged every moment.full review
Pride & Prejudice satisfies as dreamy romance. It's not the razor-sharp satire that Austen can be, but it's lovely entertainment.full review
A stellar adaptation, bewitching the viewer completely and incandescently with an exquisite blend of emotion and wit.full review
One of the most delightful and heartwarming adaptations made from Austen or anybody else.full review
Any resemblance to scenes and characters created by Miss Austen is, of course, entirely coincidental.full review
Even the most rabid Janeites must allow that director Joe Wright, 33, has given Austen's novel a beguilingly youthful spin without compromising the novel's late-eighteenth-century manners.full review
