Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- It's a handsome production and shot in some of the most eye-catching locations in England....Warm, satisfying and amusing...
Ultimate DVD
Keira Knightley, in a witty, vibrant, altogether superb performance, plays Lizzie's sparky, questing nature as a matter of the deepest personal sacrifice....The acting in PRIDE & PREJUDICE tingles with nuance and presence. -- Grade: A

Rating: 1/4 --
It's a fitfully engaging romance, it's just not Pride and Prejudice.

Rating: 3/5 --
Over-familiar material gets innovative, yet faithful, treatment from Joe Wright in this lovely little adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice'.

Knightley is splendid, while Matthew Macfadyen broods with aplomb as Mr. Darcy...
Movieline's Hollywood Life
Rating: 3/5 --
Director Joe Wright and screenwriter Deborah Moggach have done an adequate job in cutting Austen's material down to size, allowing time for the secondary tales to develop while never losing sight of the all-pervading romance.

Product Description:
This version of Jane Austen's fiercely beloved novel has the daunting task of living up not only to the classic book, but also to the excellent 1995 miniseries of the same name. Yet 2005's PRIDE & PREJUDICE is up to the task, thanks to lively pacing, a witty script, an excellent cast, and clever direction from British newcomer Joe Wright. The surprisingly still-relevant story follows the five Bennet sisters as they deal with suitors and love, as their mother desperately schemes to marry them off advantageously. Sweet-tempered beauty Jane (Rosamund Pike) develops feelings for the equally amiable and extremely wealthy Mr. Bingley (Simon Woods), but forces conspire to keep them apart--while Lizzie (Keira Knightley) finds herself first appalled by, but gradually drawn to, Bingley's aloof, intelligent, and socially awkward friend, Mr. Darcy (Matthew MacFayden). The movie, at just over two hours, is forced to cut and condense a number of the book's subplots, and at times it tries to heighten the drama of certain scenes. But, for the most part, it's as faithful to the spirit of the original as time and cinematic convention allow.
The tremendous supporting cast includes Brenda Blethyn as Mrs. Bennet and Donald Sutherland as her wry, withdrawn husband; Jena Malone as teenage twit Lydia; Judi Dench, effortlessly haughty and imperious, as Lady Catherine de Bourg; and Tom Hollander, who steals every scene he's in as the ludicrously pompous and awkward Mr. Collins. The movie's script, adapted by Deborah Moggach, manages to be proto-feminist without becoming anachronistic--and, like the novel, it is incisive about the class politics and gender inequalities of the day.
