Film in Review - Bride and Prejudice

Ok i thought seen as i view a lot of movies - i would let u all no wat i thought about them - so u can totally ignore my advice and go see them anyway.

Ok so the other day i went to see Bride and Prejudice, which was an appropriation of Pride and Prejudice - one of the greatest stories ever written - this is not the first time this story has been used in a new context - Bridget Jones Diary of course is Jane Austin’s master piece set in modern time.

This movie, however, does something new -it sets the classic story in India. And i for one think it does quite well. The guy who plays Darcy is nothing compared to either of Colin Firths portrayals of the literary Hunk- but he carries the part off well. The Guy in the handsome/evil Mr Wickem's part is much hotter than Hugh Grant or that guy from the BBC version. The beauty an elegance of Jane Austin’s original words make way for modern language but lame dance scenes and songs totally make this movie better.

So anyway - this movie is not quite as good as the original P&P or BJD ( the absence of Colin Firth ensures this fact) but it is heaps of fun - and id say really good
