PRIDE & PREJUDICE (Theatrical Release USA 2005)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì 

Pride & Prejudice—not a high-end rendition of this classic tale—still manages to charm as a quality romance story. The story stands the test of time due to its high level of writing skill and Donald Sutherland does justice to his part in this British tale. Great casting choices. Portrayal is not shabby. It’s worth a watch.
