To me, this movie is perfection.
Excellent but underrated film
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Both big concepts - an update to Jane Austen's original story and Mormon culture - are so watered down that the movie won't offend anyone but is rarely interesting. The Pink Bible and attempt to update feminism were nice touches but neither quite landed. The whole movie feels awkward and a bit disingenuous. Two positives: Orlando Seale as Mr. Darcy is almost as hot as Colin Firth and there are some genuinely talented actors doing solid work.
Originally billed as '...a Latter Day Comedy', this version of Pride and Prejudice presents Mormon characters in a modern setting. There are the characters we all know and love - Elizabeth Bennet, Darcy, Bingley, Mr Collins. But just not in the setting we're used to.This film has had bad press amongst Austenites, and didn't really get a UK distributor, so it isn't well known here. But it is an enjoyable modern twist on the classic novel, with the plot points there, but updated. It's also short enough to be entertaining and zippy. It's no Clueless (the modern version of Emma), but it is a good attempt to move Austen to another culture.I believe however that the version available now isn't the original script and that the LDS references have been toned down somewhat - but that's no detriment, in my view, unless you're aware of them and miss their presence.
I am LDS and found this movie to be offensive. THey seem to make villains out of and/or make look stupid the people who have real faith and attend church regularly. They made heroes out of the ones who rebelled against the teachings and didn't attend church regularly breaking the covenants they made at baptism and they glorified disobeying the commandments of the Lord making it seem fun to sin.Having faith in the commandments and teachings of the Lord is not something that should be taken lightly or mocked. It isn't easy and it is even harder when you are a young impressionable teen and people make fun of you for it. This movie just shows how teens give in to peer pressure and seems to glorify giving in as okay.
i am crazy about modern day takes on classic stories--clueless is one of my favorite movies because it so perfectly retells Emma. so, of course, when i saw this movie was coming on TV...i was eager to give it a try (though skeptical, considering i'd never heard of it)...to be honest, i wish i had that hour and a half back.it's a ridiculously saccharine, terribly written, horribly acted movie--certainly, filled with clever tricks (like the Austen quotes that bookend all the scenes), but, at its core, a boring, unsexy, uninteresting version of a remarkably sensual novel. Darcy is more dopey than brooding, and Lizzie is cute--but too flat to play such a rich, nuanced character.i didn't know it was a "Mormon" movie until i just looked it up--but i'm not surprised. that explains the constant references to church and the reason why everyone was interested in marriage--rather than dating.if you're Mormon and a Jane Austen lover--i imagine you'd enjoy this...but if you're not a Mormon--rent Bridget Jones--it's a better bang for your buck.
