This is the best rendition and interpretation of Jane Austen's P&P. There will never be another like it. It's a must see for everyone!

I rented the first part and then the second. Both DVDs are great romantic movies, like the book. It also goes along with the book, nothing taken out, nothing added, it is just what the book says. It is a great companion after reading the book! I recommend reading the book first and then rent both parts of this DVD, you won't be dissappointed! Thank you Blockbuster!

I have never ready the novel, but after watching this movie version, I am definitely going to put it on my list of books to read. It took me a little bit to really get into it, but once I did, regardless of the length, I was glued to my TV for the entire time. This is an absolutely wonderful love story and I was constantly sitting on the edge of my seat wanting more and wondering when Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy would finally find their way to each other as husband and wife :)
