The Case
Pride and Prejudice has been my favorite classic since the very first time I read it. I had never seen a film adaptation until the A&E miniseries, and I must admit, I braced myself for disappointment. Film adaptations rarely do justice to the novels they are based upon. Thankfully, that was not the case with Pride and Prejudice. I enjoy watching the movie just as much, if not more so, than I enjoy rereading the book!
The Good
This miniseries is the most faithful adaptation of a novel that I have ever seen on screen. It's nearly word for word! The entire book, almost every scene,...

I had never heard of Pride & Prejudice before I studied abroad in Lancaster, England during my college years. One weekend when my English friends went home and left me alone on campus, they gave me the 2 VHS tapes that held the 4-hour BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's novel. The two days during which I watched this BBC mini-series were magical!
Basically, the BBC produced an extremely faithful adaptaion of Pride & Prejudice. If anything, the story has been enhanced by the masterful casting and soundtrack. Every minute of the four hours of this mini-series is interesting, engaging, and just...

I love this movie! I am such a fan of Jane Austin, and this is so close to the book! I have seen this too many times to count! I watch it while I'm doing crafts or folding laundry or whatever. It is long, but it's worth it to get that quality of entertainment! I fall in love with the characters and get caught up in the story every time I watch it.
Lizzy is great, believable, witty, strong. Mr Darcy is handsome, so easy to hate at first, and then you fall in love! I recommend this strongly to anyone who loves romance!
I think all the actors did a wonderful job, but Colin Firth clearly steals the show. He IS Mr. Darcy! I never tire of watching this series. Highly recommended!
The DVD version of the TV mini series of Pride and Prejudice is hands down the best book to screen reinactment I've ever seen. All the major scenes are present and most of the dialogue are direct quotes from the book. The cast also helps in keeping true to the book with their acting and likeness to character descriptions. This is one of my favorites, and I don't usually like love stories!
