    Much more fun than expected
    I'm not very familiar with Jane Austen novels, and I'm not a huge fans of these types of films, and perhaps that's why I found it so refreshing and really surprising. I figured it would be a really light-hearted, romantic, sweet little film. I had no idea that Kate Beckinsale would be playing such an unlikable character (within the film of course, I loved the character). It really is very much a stage play in the way it is executed, but I think that allows for the witty, fun dialogue to pop even more. I don't know if I would call it a great film, and the extremely high acclaim does surprise me, but definitely better than I would have thought when it was first announced. I also loved Beckinsale in the role, very fun, but I also don't think it's a very challenging role and I could easily see her being ignored for awards traction as the months go on.
