i am crazy about modern day takes on classic stories--clueless is one of my favorite movies because it so perfectly retells Emma. so, of course, when i saw this movie was coming on TV...i was eager to give it a try... Full review
Worst ever

This was the worst movie made from a Jane Austen novel, ever. The acting was mediocre. The dialog at first was okay, since there wasn't any for the first 5 or so minutes, but overall it was rather poor. The... Full review

If you're attracted to the P&P story line and are entertained by the idea of the plot working itself out in different cultural contexts, then this is the movie for you. The context here is the LDS or "Mormon" culture... Full review

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is not just a clever romance. It contains strong criticism against a society that punished women for their intelligence, created an upper class for whom working for a living was disgraceful, and operated through... Full review

The modern version of Pride and Prejudice has some good qualities, and some bad. The good? Most of the roles were filled by people who conveyed the characters rightly, the plot was semi-true to the original, and it was believable.... Full review
Painful modern-day version of Pride and Prejudice

Unwanted_Birdtamer - imdb.com
I know that many people consider Clueless a brilliant modern-day version of Emma, but in my opinion, it never rises above being an average teenage comedy. Pride and Prejudice, despite the source material, suffers the same fate--it is virtually indistinguishable... Full review
Poor Rendition of a classic

I am a HUGE fan of P&P and was disappointed in this film. It was very obviously low-budget with plot problems throughout. The characters were not well-rounded and the story was drastically changed from the book. Elizabeth is supposed to... Full review

...and perhaps vomiting on herself too. The review on the jacket said the movie would be compared to Clueless and Bridget Jones, but it's wittier. Sure, it's like them. Only with third-rate writers and production values.(Super vague spoilers ahead! Nothing... Full review
Not perfect but an enjoyable film

As a devoted reader of the books of Jane Austen AND a card-carrying member of the LDS Church, I became very interested in this "Latter Day" version of "Pride and Prejudice" and finally had a chance to view it the... Full review

Recently the basis for a well-regarded BBC miniseries, Jane Austen's 1813 comedy-of-manners is transposed to a contempo American college town in director Andrew Black's splendidly, surprisingly charming "Pride & Prejudice." Taking inspiration from Amy Heckerling's "Clueless" (loosely based on Austen's... Full review

I heard they were from Utah unlike the rest of the Cast who are based in L.A. So if you are in want of a great family movie full of wit and humor I'd go see Pride and Prejudice. It was a nice chick flick. not a great movie ... Full Review

"Pride & Prejudice" is the best of the recent slew of LDS-oriented comedies, but that's not much of a compliment. Kam Heskin, in the lead role, isn't particularly likable or sympathetic as Austen's heroine, Elizabeth Bennet, who in this version is a student at Brigham Young University. ... Full Review
