Movie Reviews of Pride & Prejudice (2003)

Movie Review: Admittedly a loose retelling, but a wonderfully fun and fluffy romp
Summary: 5 Stars

I love Jane Austen. I love her and her work dearly for its clever wit, plot, construction, etc. I truly do love Jane Austen.

And this fluffy mind romp? I loved it as well. I said to myself "This is a very loose retelling set in the vicinity of a religious school designed as a pure comedy" and I loved it.

So yes, it is a loose retelling and some reviews have complained that not enough fodder was taken from the original work. But, it's not a six-hour film, so I'll give them that.

Still, they did a marvelous job with what they had and with what they did. I felt the lead actors did a fine job, if not stellar. But I've seen worse acting in many a high-grade Hollywood movie. I felt this was fine. The original plot was twisted enough to fit the modern BYU world, the Mormon bunch, and the breezy, insane story. The style was fun, pretty, and wacky. I loved the clever references to the book--clearly homework was done. I even loved it when logic was tossed to the wind with the wild chase of an ending.

No, it did not closely follow the book. It was not nearly as serious as the book (which, if you may be reminded, as also a comedy) but the spirit of the book was still there and I think that if Jane Austen was an LDS girl attending BYU, she would not be wholey opposed to this movie.
