Frothy, feel-good fun.

... a funny, festive, genre-bending adaptation of Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Austen goes to Bollywood.

| Original Score: B | Nov 18, 2005

Do we really need more adaptations of Pride & Prejudice?

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 2, 2005

Every so often, the unseen managers of the galaxy bestow on us mere mortals a vision of rare incongruous beauty: a solar eclipse, a streaking comet, a shooting star, Bollywood goddess Aishwarya Rai happily riding a tractor.

Or, how to use only the worst parts of three different genres.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 5, 2005

It's impossible not to be charmed by Chadha's direction and the movie's sheer invention.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 20, 2005

There's much to like about Bride & Prejudice...but the end result looks and feels like a cut-rate version of the Bollywood and Hollywood sensibilities.

| Original Score: C | Apr 13, 2005

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 27, 2005

Whacky Bollywood update of British author Jane Austen's caustic comedy of manners of some 200 years ago.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 26, 2005
