Pride & Prejudice

This is one of those old-timey period films set in Britain and is baked on a book by the same title. The reason I watched this film is my man-crush on Colin Firth. I’ll break it down for you. Colin Firth rolls into town and his friend finds Jane attractive. Colin is in denial about Jane’s sister (who is smoking hot) and is rude to her. Both men go away and there’s all kinds of flowers and crying and hugging for a few months. Both men return and stake claim on their ladies and get married. So why did it take 5 hours? Because it’s A&E. Here’s how a guy would make this movie in less than two hours: Boy meets girl and is a jerk. She likes bad boys, though so it’s ok because he’s rich. Explosion. Pointless nudity. Fire. Glass. Blood. More explosions. Nipple. Fire. Fool around on the side. Explosion. Car chase. Shoot out. Dwarf dream sequence. Explosion. Girl caves. Roll credits before they get married. Why am I not a script writer? Anyway, it’s a good movie and well acted if you like these and thous and ridiculous pomp and circumstance. Besides, it impresses the ladies when they see it on your movie shelf (between Barn of the Blood Llama and Cheerleader Ninjas).
