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.

Direction was great. I loved the cinematography and the music. However, the cast is no where near as good as the 6 hour cast. Also, it's not 6 hours long...which is unfortunate.
keira should unlock her teeth while speaking. we can't hear you you know.
how is it that a classic is re-made over and over again, on tv, in theatre, on the silver screen, yet we never tire of it? you are awesome ms. austen.
After the BBC did their mini-series no one ever should have tried to make it into another feature length film. It just does not work in such a short time slot.
I would give it a billion stars if i could!!! This is one of my absolute favorite movie ever!!!
I absolutely adored this movie. Superb acting from both the main leads and some memorable quotes.
i loveeeeee this movieeee and the book is so goodddddddddddddddd

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
