Forget this is Jane Austen & see this movie on its own. The script is witty with fast paced one liners. The negative reviews are undoubtedly from those who couldn't keep up with the sophisticated humor or expected strict adherence to Austen. The characters are wickedly crafted within the first few minutes. The only nod to Austen is the story concept. If people reviewed the movie on its own merit much would be said about the dialogue, character building & genuine fun. It's a shame such a unique, entertaining, romantic comedy suffers poor reviews simply because of a book it's loosely based on.
