Title: Don't put your faith in reviews!
Review: I bought this video based on the reviews which claimed it was more faithful to the book than the A&E version. Well, I don't know what book they were comparing it to, but it was definitely not Pride and Prejudice!I found that this version cut a whole lot more scenes and dialogue from the book than the A&E version. The subtle Jane Austen wit and humor that is inherent in the book is completely missing from this version. The casting is disappointing and the performances are wooden.The characters of Elizabeth and Jane are perhaps a little more conventionally pretty than in the A&E version, but that's all that can be said in favor of this adaptation.If you want to see the book come to life on the screen, rent or buy the A&E version. Skip this one.But, as I said, don't put your faith in reviews, not even mine. To each his own. To me, Colin Firth!
Is the review positive or negative?
