Most helpful review Bride And Prejudice

  • Fun Family Film That Lacks Edge

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By Samuel Tyler from Reading, England , 11 Nov 2004

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Bride and Prejudice is not the type of film that I would normally go to the cinema to watch but as my Mum was visiting I felt she may like it. And she did.

    This film has a lot that would appeal to people who enjoyed films such as Calendar Girls or Bridget Jones? Diary. Its fun and light with a romantic storyline that is high on the ?feel good factor?. Directed by the same person as Bend it Like Beckham both films have a similar feeling with Asian culture clashing with that of the west.

    Loosely based on the book Pride and Prejudice they go so far as to lose one of the children from the entire plot! The main area of grief for me where the songs, I thought they poorly written and a bit embarrassing!

    I would advice people that do not like light hearted films to avoid this as it can be painfully twee. However, I have rarely been to see a film were the audience were such a wide range of ethnicity and that can only be a good thing!

    I do like this film. Not 'cos it's mega classy or anything, but 'cos it's fun & colourful & lively. I love anything Austen related & even this, so far away from Netherfield, is a good watch.

  • Tongue in cheek fun

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By a customer from UK , 04 Mar 2011
    We all enjoyed this - from our 7 year old to the old man. When the actors burst into song we just laughed out loud! It's not close enough to the original Austen to help with English Literature exam revision but the general themes are there and every now and again they even quote her - well quite close anyway! Gurinder Chadha is a great director and writer.

    Fascinating film that is well worth watching if you like Jane Austen and Bollywood all rolled into one. Exciting, colourful and appealing. Definitely value for money. Relax and enjoy!

  • was ok

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By JakeJ88 (12 reviews) from Wolverhampton , 29 Oct 2009
    this film was ok, but not the best. It dragged on a little too much for me. I usually enjoy indian/bollywood style films however i found this a bit weak and felt it could have had alot more depth to the film.
