 Jane Austen would be proud Jun 02, 2010
Some of the key issues from Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice -- in my opinion the best novel in the English language -- are preserved in this version, but it makes other contributions she might love if she'd lived 200 years to see the Bollywood song-and-dance homage to her story of an intelligent woman trapped by the social mores of her time. I've seen almost every version of the Austen novel that has ever been filmed and have read the book many times. Very few of the films capture the intelligence, the fun, or the passion of the original. This one does. Most of the films dumb down Austen's class commentary and complex relationships, both of which are well done here. Watch for the quick but pointed discussion of American imperialism if you like politics. Although all the music is thrilling, my favorite is "No Life Without Wife," a subtly feminist rejection of men who think they are owed pretty wives -- yet it preserves the Austen irony that even women make ridiculous mistakes in matters of the heart. The young people are gorgeous; the older people are great actors. It will make you laugh.
If only Liz hadn't been so obviously beautiful Apr 05, 2010
I'd seen this movie at the theater, and enjoyed it. I know it is the kind of movie I will want to watch every now and then, to forget about things.
It is a light-hearted thing, and I certainly do not regret buying it.
However, I am sure it would have been more interesting and satisfying if Lalita hadn't been made the most obviously beautiful in addition to being the most clever and the one with the strongest personality.
Great movie - lots of fun - great price & delivery Feb 25, 2010
This movie is a lot of fun! I received exactly what I ordered! It was a great price and came really fast!
A Very Colorful Musical Feb 16, 2010
I loved this film. It's one of those feel-good musicals that give you just a bit of everything. There is a dashing romance between two beautiful leads, great Bollywood numbers, and a whole lot of vibrant color. The best part is that it's an adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice! I've made a habit of collecting all of the different versions of her work and this is definitely one that I would recommend to any Jane Austen fan. Plus, Gurinder Chadha is a fabulous woman and creates lovely work!
