This movie was good. I think Kiera Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen portrayed beautifully their literary counterparts. But the movie does cut corners and leave parts wanting from Austen's writing, which I feel should not be done to such genius and wit. I understand it is difficult albeit impossible to fully portray a novel in two hours and that certain liberties must be taken. But at some of the most important parts the story too many creative liberties were taken. But the overall enchantment and wit of the story is still there and it was very enjoyable. But If you are one who gets very upset when novels are altered too much on screen than this movie is not for you and I reccomend the mini series from the 90's.
