Title: Don't put your faith in reviews
Review: After reading the review which claimed that this version was much more true to the book than the A&E version, I purchased it. I couldn't wait to get home to watch it!All I can say is, I don't know which book this film is so true to, but it is definitely not Pride and Prejudice! Many pivotal scenes and a lot of dialogue were either eliminated or altered so that they lacked the emotion and the humor that Jane Austen had so brilliantly crafted. The casting was appalling and the performances were wooden.Except for the fact that Elizabeth and Jane were a bit more conventionally pretty in this adaptation, the A & E version beats it hands down in every other category. When you watch that version, it's almost like reading the book.If you have to buy one film adaptation of the novel, buy the A&E version. Then you won't be disappointed as I was.But, as I said, don't put your faith in reviews! To each his own! To me, Colin Firth!
Is the review positive or negative?
