good movie, but it would have been better if it hadn't been called Pride and Prejudice, just based on it so there wouldn't be so many expectations of it being identical to the book, which no movies really are.

Dear people, it's called modernizing. It's done with Shakespeare all the time. It shows that the story is relevant to any time period, not just the one the original story was set in.

@ruthangelina my thoughts exactly

Elizabeth looks like the girl of "10 things I hate about you"

[GeistFright]

@chobunn That's a good point. Like 'Emma' and 'Clueless.'

[MeLoveandPeace]

I love this movie!Haters gonna hate :)

Austen's novel* and seems little like*

This movie is a fun, modern version of Austen's novels, meant to entertain. If you do not have an open mind, you won't enjoy it. In fact, I might say some are determined not to like it. However, if you are seeking a touching film adaptation of the novel, I suggest watching one of the others. (I prefer the one starring Keira Knightley as Elizabeth.) Just as She's the Man starring Amandas Bynes seems Shakespeare's A Twelth Night, I enjoyed both for different reasons.

@PhanPhanPhanPhanPhan Would you rather she be a supermodel then, and be *completely* unfaithful to Jane Austen's description of her? Hair colour is of little importance, and Jane is meant to be much prettier. Unless you are the 194 year deceased authoress, who are you to say that this portrayal of Elizabeth is less accurate than what you have imagined?

@conversearecool95 Making the assumption that anyone who truly loves Austen's original work MUST be disgusted by this modern comedy is a gross misjudgment. In enjoying adaptations such as this or Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I gain a greater appreciation for the original. Very rarely will you find a movie that follows every detail of its written counterpart.

It's just a movie. Have a laugh or two, and get over it.

It's a cute movie, but pride and prejudice shouldn't be modernized--at least not like this.
