This newest adaptation of the Jane Austen classic isn’t really modernized, but feels somewhat updated in attitude. It revolves around the rich, entitled title character whose misguided attempts at romance (for her and others) is the fulcrum of the story. Without a lot of actual laughs, there’s an overall mirthful aspect that makes it pleasantly entertaining. The performances are genuine and their interactions enjoyable. Being a period film, you expect the requisite beauty, but this film’s costumes are outstandingly gorgeous. An agreeable little trifle.
