I like nearly anything that is Jane Austen-inspired. Plus, the music makes me want to get up and bellydance!

This one I’ve watched 3 times, making it to my short list of movies purposefully seen more than once.

This is a wonderfully fun movie and a nice take on the Austen lark. It’s full of vibrancy, extragavance and enjoyment.

Watch it with the girls.

Lalita: Only you could say that you love me
and insult me at the same time.

It’s a million years long, but the dance numbers are ridiculous and amazing. Best one: no life without wife. Most ridiculous one: main characters are falling in love on a beach, gospel choir appears behind them, surfers run out of the water, lifeguards run down from their chairs, and they all SURROUND them and tell them “This is the way to love!”

I watched this with Christine and Amy.

Mild as far as Bollywood goes, lively as far as Jane Austen goes. This is a fun interpretation that also allows for some of the deeper social questions brought up in Austen’s novel: how are women colonized? How can they love, please their families, please society, without sacrificing themselves? And yeah, fun soundtrack! Well done.

This is a cute movie. I first saw it on Valentine’s day. Then got the DVD. It’s sweet, light, and colourful, with a great soundtrack.
