Three sentence movie reviews: Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Inexplicably set in the 1860s, I spent a lot of the movie contemplating just how big the women’s sleeves were. Aldous Huxley, (of Brave New World fame) co-wrote the script and I found Lawrence Oliver to be a delightful Mr. Darcy. Not surprisingly, considering we’re talking Hollywood here, the story was changed a bit, the most egregious example being the shifting of the role of Lady Catherine de Bourgh’s confrontation with Elizabeth Bennett near the end of the film.

Imagine having to iron those sleeves let alone the whoe dress. MOM
We watched this version in school when we read the book. I remember the high pitch of the w omen's voices and found that odd. Olivier is a great Darcy, though!
