I watched all the versions of Pride and Prejudice and honestly I didn't like the changes made from original book. I mean I liked some of them, like Lizzie being an activist and Jane being a widow, but from the beginning Darcy is like "a good one" so Lizzie's looks like the one overjudging him. Other changes just make the necessary problems simple like Lydia's storyline (with Wickham being a nice guy!) or Charlotte marrying Collins because she really liked him.. I mean even he seems kinda ok and I didn't understand why everyone (Lizzie) hated him so much. I think the movie would me much more entertaining if the original characters would stay the same. Also because of the similar/same hairstyles if was a bit difficult to distinguish male characters and some of the female ones.

Love the cast...always so great to see Jackée...and there were some fun laugh-out-loud moments. I would give it more than 6 stars if it weren't for the watered-down plot...everyone's nice, no bad or even silly men here. The best thing about Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice is the way it highlights issues faced by women of the time (many of which persist to this day...being judged on appearance, falling prey to the unscrupulous, etc., etc., etc.) A wonderful idea for a film and enjoyable for a tv movie...but PLEASE someone make a big-screen version with all the trials and travails of the original, lots more Atlanta humor, and costumes, sets and landscapes to rival 2005's Pride & Prejudice featuring Keira Knightley. I'll be waiting :)

I thought the movie was very well done. The acting is 95.5% on point. Of course the veteran actors did their thing, but the newcomers held their own. Great adaptation. Victoria Rowell is aging gorgeously. And of course Jackèe Harry and Reginald VelJohnson are always dynamic. Good looking cast all around and very well balanced acting.
