Entertainment Reviews:
[Ms. Knightley] brings a bright combination of expectancy and amusement to Mr. Wright's appealing version of Jane Austen's best-known novel.
Wall Street Journal
It's silly and over the top, for sure, but I really, really liked it. Also, even if you've read the book there will still be some surprises!

Three Imaginary Girls
It is a shambling mound of undead intellectual property grimly stomping its way through the world, devouring all dumb money in its path.

Rating: 1/5 --
An excruciatingly long and tepid 107 minutes, a hollow pastiche of both the costume drama and the zombie movie.

CineVue
As a film, it's still amusing, though likely to resonate better with Team Austen than Team Undead.

Pittsburgh City Paper
Whether it the best alt-version of Pride and Prejudice is up for argument but one thing is for sure. The Bennett girls have never been more badass.

Cinema Siren
Rating: 6.5/10 --
There's a balance to be struck between respecting the integrity of Pride and Prejudice while having fun with the wacky experiment of throwing zombies into the mix, and Steers' attempt is decidedly wobbly.

Way Too Indie
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 Bennet and Donald Sutherland as her wry, withdrawn husband; Jena Malone as teenage twit Lydia; Judi Dench, effortlessly haughty and imperious, as Lady Catherine de Bourg; and Tom Hollander, who steals every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.
