Rarely do I completely and wholeheartedly loathe an Austen adaptation. The Bollywood version Bride and Prejudice was delightful. The Kiera Knightley P&P; was ghastly, but mainly because the producers thought that a gentleman in 19th century Britain lived with chickens in his manor house. Shudder!But this was so completely horrible that I can't encourage anyone to watch it under any circumstances. It has NOTHING whatever to do with the Austen novel. Someone bought the title and then created an anti-slavery shock-and-rock period piece.
