The movie has beautiful settings, and nice costumes. That's it.
Things that seem "off":-
-The books in the library look 200 years old...
-Anne Hathaway just does not come across as being an intelligent young writer, i.e. Jane Austen. An actress with a more subtle appearance, and more adept at slipping into the role would have been a better choice.
-The lead actor looked like a teenage boy!
-There was no need for the movie to have so many endings. One would have been sufficient
-The movie insults Jane Austen's wit and power of observation. Why must she have had a broken heart in order to write the way she did?
All in all, just go see BBC's 5 hr Pride and Prejudice. And then you will realize that this movie is so mediocre in comparison.
