Pride and Prejudice (U) 127 mins"Sometimes the last person on earth you want to be with is the one person you can't be without." A sumptuous new adaptation of everyone's favourite Jane Austen novel, following the adventures of the five Bennet sisters, including strong-willed Lizzie, serene and beautiful Jane, and irresponsible Lydia, and their attempts to find husbands. We all loved Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth in the 1995 television version - ten years on, Keira Knightley and Matthew McFadyen step into their shoes and make the characters their own. A fabulous supporting cast includes Judi Dench as the ghastly Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Donald Sutherland and Brenda Blethyn as the Bennet parents and Tom Hollander almost stealing the show as the obsequious Mr Collins. "Keira Knightley gives a performance of beauty, delicacy, spirit and wit." Peter Bradshaw "Gloriously filmed, impeccably acted and yes, likely to make even the meanest curmudgeon feel a stirring in the heart." Tiscali UK
