Summary: Mega Dittos. A pleasure to watch.
Review: I've been forced to sit through older versions of Pride and Prejudice which seemed to me like boring Class B movies. Those movies seemed like they took a few dressed up people, dropped them in a field and did their lines. Even the recently released 'Sense and Sensibility' seemed like it needed a lot of polish. I always joked about how strange my wife and her mother must be for liking Pride & Prejudice. Of course, they liked the book and enjoyed the movie because of the plot.But then I saw all the remarks here on Amazon.com about how much everyone liked this newer version. I took their advice, and bought the two tape set (all on two tapes, instead of six) and figured I sit and enjoy watching it with my wife. I was pleasantly surprised that every thing that people said here was right. It was very enjoyable to watch. The production was SO well polished and the cast is wonderful. You get caught up in the plot very easily. This version of Pride & Prejudice is a work of art!

Summary: Riveting!
Review: This was the best film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice or any other Austen novel I have ever seen! It is definitely worth purchasing so that one can enjoy it over and over again.

Summary: Jane Austen would be proud...
Review: I love "Pride & Prejudice." Colin Firth is wonderful as Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle lights up the screen as Elizabeth Bennett. Especially delightful was Julia Sawalha's performance as Lydia Bennett. What a difference from her character, "Saffron," in another British show "Absolutely Fabulous." This is a must for everyone.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: I am a man, and yes I loved this movie. I bought this movie for my wife and really never intended to watch it myself. But I caught bits and peices of it here and there, next thing I knew, it drew me in. Since I bought it, I've probably watched it a dozen times. Very enjoyable, clean movie. Well worth the money.

Summary: My favorite love story of all times!
Review: Before I saw this movie, I saw the early version that the BBC did many years ago. But this one is the best one of all. Tha acting is totally wonderful, the costumes, the photography, everything! The way they tell the story is beautifull, and it shows another side of Mr. Darcy, never seen before. You have to see it, and I'm sure you will fall in love with it just as I did. I watch it over and over again, and never get tired. Once you start seeing it, you won't be able to stop until the end! It's a MUST SEE movie!

Summary: simply marvelous
Review: If you've read the other reviews, then you already know that this version of "P&P" is just about perfect (if not completely perfect!). The acting, the cast, the sets, the costumes - are all absolutely marvelous. There have been some comments specifically about the quality of the DVD version - I can't comment on that because I haven't seen either the VHS version nor the original televised series. I did notice that the movie seemed to catch quite frequently (although that could be my player), and I also noticed the thumping sound that another reviewer remarked on. However, these defects did not stop me from sitting up until 4:00 am to watch the whole movie, and then popping it into my player the next day to watch parts of it again! It is simply a wonderful, wonderful adaptation and should not be missed. If you only have a DVD player (like me), just go ahead and splurge!

Summary: My Favorite Book and Movie
Review: After reading the book I didn't think that the story could possibly be any better but the movie made the characters seem even more real than they already were. I absoutely love Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and instead of taking away from the book like most movies, this one added to it and gave me a face to put with all the names I was reading,From the annoying Mrs. Bennet to the sweet and tender Jane. This movie is definetly one that i will keep on my favorites list for a long time to come.

Summary: Wonderful Production
Review: I purchased this DVD after having seen the VHS (6 tape) version, my 12 year old daughter was watching daily for the DVD to arrive. The production is wonderful, its all well done, from the characters, (Elizabeth's mother is perhaps over done), to the dances and instruments. The scenery is beautiful. The video of the DVD is not as clear as the VHS version, and there are thumping noises at times.

Summary: exceptional production quality but for the dvd format itself
Review: You are probably already convinced of the excellence of this Austen classic and of the exceedingly skilled A&E adaptation, but you might not know that the dvd version is not up to dvd standards. I'm not sure, but from my dvd player it looks to be just a transfer from the vhs, or something. If one is not keen on the dvd price tag, one may as well simply buy or rent it on video. However, if you have not seen this A&E adaptation, I hasten to add that any lover of Austen's book will likely cite it as the best movie/tv rendition of the classic to date. With a length & pace that can finally do justice to the novel, faithfulness to the story, full utilization of Austen's witty dialogue, and nigh perfect casting, there is little that this version can be criticized for. The music, locations, & costuming are also irreproachable. Believe me, if you want to see Darcy, Mr. & Mrs Bennett, Catherine De Burgh, the silliness of the younger Bennett sisters, and Caroline Bingley done absolutely and resoundingly RIGHT, you'll watch the A&E version. And if you by some cruel trick of fate have been unable to read the Austen original, the A&E adaption is a perfect introduction.
