I recently received this movie, and watched ALL 5 1/2 HOURS of it...yep!
It may seem daunting, and you may be obsessed with the Keira Knightley and Matthew Mcfayden version (also amazing), but you'll change your tune when you allow yourself to experience the charming glow of this classic. It's practically word-for-word, and Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle are amazing as Lizzie and Mr. Darcy. Five hundred stars, and I recommend it to anyone!
Mrs. Bennet, hyperactive, annoying and a fidgety flibbertigibbet at times, is bent on marrying off all five of her daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Kitty, Lydia, and Mary. All are excited when charming Mr. Bingley moves into a manor not far from their own, and he has a grumpy and unmannered yet extremely handsome friend, Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth hate each other, you could cut the tension with a knife. But will Lizzie's slight curious interest-and Darcy's undying admiration- spark a new and beautiful romance?
Kids-in-Mind and Common Sense Media do not have reviews, but there is nothing visually explicit, no violence, but there might be a religious exclamation or two in there. Gee, after five hours of movie you forget!
